New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday March 5 granted six hours of custodial parole to Yogesh alias Tunda, accused in the murder case of gangster Tillu Tajpuria in Tihar Jail, for his marriage.
A bench of Justice Amit Mahajan while hearing Tunda's petition granted the parole to Tunda for his marriage while rejecting the objections by the Additional Public Prosecutor for his release.
Tunda had filed a petition before the Delhi High Court on February 21 through his advocates Virender Mual and Deepak Kumar while challenging the trial court's decision.
On January 25, the Patiala House Court had rejected Tunda's demand to be released on parole for his marriage. Special Judge Chander Jeet Singh had said that the right to procreate is not absolute. During the hearing, lawyer Virender Mual, appearing on behalf of Tunda, had sought permission to release Tunda on six-hour parole for marriage.
He had also sought interim bail for marital customs and conjugal rights after marriage.
The charge sheet was filed by Delhi Police on 3 August 2023 in the case of Tillu Tajpuria murder in Tihar Jail. Besides, digital evidence has also been submitted in the court. Delhi Police has named six accused in the case. Apart from Tunda, they include Deepak alias Teetar, Riyaz Khan alias Sonu, Rajesh alias Karambir, Vinod alias Chavanni and Atul Rehman Khan.
Tillu was murdered in Tihar Jail on 2 May 2023. In the purported CCTV footage of the incident, six people were seen attacking Tillu multiple times. It is said that members of Tillu gang were involved in the murder of gangster Jitendra Gogi in Rohini court room on 24 September 2021.
