Gangsters Naveen Bali and Sandeep Dhillu Assault Jail Staff, Threaten Officials in Tihar JailPreviousNext

In late September, jailed gangsters Naveen Bali and Sandeep Dhillu allegedly assaulted and threatened jail officials inside Tihar Jail's High-Security Ward. During a family video meeting, Dhillu reportedly became aggressive, abused staff, and attempted self-injury by repeatedly hitting his head against walls and doors. Officials suspected Dhillu was under the influence of narcotics and conducted a urine test. The incident caused panic among jail staff and disrupted operations within the ward.
