The high court asked why the security personnel deployed in the jail premises do not have walkie talkies for communication and termed it as unacceptable.
The Delhi High Court on Friday asked Tihar jail authorities some searching questions about how dreaded gangster Tillu Tajpuria was killed in a knife attack by a rival gang inside the high-security prison while security staff watched the incident, captured on CCTV cameras, live.
It questioned the prison authorities about the delay in responding to the brutal attack.
The high court asked why the security personnel deployed in the jail premises do not have walkie talkies for communication and termed it as unacceptable.
"What bothers me is that it is watched on CCTV cameras. How can the police take so much of time that it cannot be stopped while the incident is happening," Justice Jasmeet Singh said and asked the counsel for the state as to what is the distance between the jail and surveillance area.
