Purported video of murder surfaced on social media
A purported video of the incident surfaced on social media, which showed the suspects stabbing 33-year-old Tajpuri multiple times in front of security personnel, who did nothing to save him.
This prompted authorities to take swift action by making ground-level changes.
However, Delhi Prisons Director General Sanjay Beniwal, who ordered the transfers, said this was a "routine transfer."
