Senior officers of the ITBP and Tamil Nadu Police that are deployed in Tihar Jail met the Delhi Prisons Director General Sanjay Beniwal on Monday to discuss ways to address security concerns in the wake of the brutal killing of gangster Tillu Tajpuriya inside the prison premises last week, officials said.

The meetings come after Beniwal wrote to the heads of the security agencies whose personnel are deployed at the Tihar, one of the largest prisons in Asia, as part of security arrangements.

"Deputy Inspector General (DIG) in Indo Tibetan Border Police Bhanwar Singh met DG Prisons today. The two senior officials discussed various issues including security concerns in Tihar," a jail official said.

H M Jayaram, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) of Tamil Nadu Police, also meet the DG Prisons to discuss the matter, they said.

Tajpuriya was assaulted with improvised weapons allegedly by four members of the Gogi gang inside the high-security prison on Tuesday morning.

He was still alive and was being carried away by the prison security personnel when the accused attacked him for the second time, video footage of the incident showed.

In the footage, it appeared that the security personnel remained mute spectators while the assailants kept attacking the gangster.

Seven personnel of the Tamil Nadu Special Police (TNSP), who were on duty, have been suspended and transferred to Tamil Nadu, according to jail officials.
