Man accused in murder case killed by inmates in saket court lockup due to old rivalry
New Delhi: A youth accused of murder was killed by two others in the lock-up at the Saket Courts on Thursday. Police said the attack on the 24-year-old was fuelled by prior animosity caused by the deceased allegedly assaulting one of the assailants and his brother last year. Police said the incident occurred around 10am inside kharja (cell) No. 5 at the Saket Court lock-up. At the time of the incident, more than 30 inmates were housed in the cell. An argument broke out between the deceased Aman and another prisoner, Jitender, which escalated into violence. Jitender's associate, Jaidev, allegedly joined the assault on Aman. A police officer said, "Aman was hit and kicked with such force that his head struck the wall, leading to critical injuries." The youth was rushed to hospital but he was dead by then. There are also unconfirmed claims that after Aman collapsed, the attackers placed their legs on his neck and attempted to strangle him. Police said these allegations were being investigated. When the skirmish began, a policeman posted outside the cell tried to intervene but had to open a door that had two locks and in the time it took him to do this, Aman had already sustained critical injuries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Killer New Dodge Ram 1500 Is Utter Perfection (Take A Look) SocialGazette Undo "The entire incident unfolded in less than a minute," a police source said. "We also learned that the two men had a verbal spat earlier in the morning when being brought to court from Tihar Jail." A police source said the court lock-up is divided into several rooms on two floors, each room capable of holding 30-40 inmates. Inmates known to be enemies are usually not kept together. The cells are only opened in adequate police presence to prevent the cops being overpowered. Police said the attack appears to be a continuation of a feud dating back to 2024, when Aman allegedly stabbed Jitender and his brother during an argument. The hostility has apparently lingered on since. Aman was in jail since 2017 in connection with a murder case registered in Govindpuri. Jitender was arrested for robbery and snatching cases in New Friends Colony, while Jaidev was involved in a robbery case at Ambedkar Nagar. All three were lodged in Jail No 8 in Tihar. "Jitender was brought to Tihar in April this year, while Jaidev was lodged on Dec 13, 2024. Aman was initially held in Jail No. 5, but was transferred to No. 8 in 2020," an officer added. Dhir Singh Kasana, former secretary, Saket Bar Association, remarked, "The incident points at loopholes in the court's security measures. Technologies like video conferencing should be used more. An investigation must be initiated to find reasons behind the incident, including why the two criminals were kept together."

Fellow inmates kill undertrial prisoner inside lockup in Delhi's Saket court complex
An undertrial prisoner was allegedly killed by two others inside the jail lockup in the Saket court complex on Thursday afternoon. The three knew each other, police said. The police said Jaidev and Jitender first banged the head of Aman, 24, on the wall of the cell and then pinned him down and strangled him with their feet. Ankit Chauhan, DCP, South, said, 'Jitender and Aman had old animosity between them due to an incident of assault that happened in 2024 when they both were outside the jail. Aman allegedly assaulted Jitender and his brother with a knife in that incident.' Aman was accused in a case of attempted murder and was brought to the lockup for production before the court. At the time of the incident, several undertrial prisoners were present inside the lockup, the police said. The area has been cordoned off and the security cover increased. In April 2023, shots rang out for close to a minute in the same court complex as a suspended lawyer chased a woman and allegedly fired multiple times at her, before fleeing on his scooter. The lawyer, Kameshwar Kumar Singh, 49, was later arrested from his brother's home in Faridabad. The woman, M Radha, 42, sustained injuries after two bullets grazed her left abdomen and right arm. A lawyer's clerk also received bullet injuries on his right arm. A video of the incident showed Singh training his pistol at Radha on the stairs leading up to the lawyers' block and shooting several rounds at her, even as the woman ran screaming. According to the police, the motive appeared to be personal enmity. The suspended lawyer had filed a case alleging the woman had cheated him out of Rs 25 lakh.
