Some more jail officials are likely to be transferred in connection with the murder of gangster Tillu Tajpuriya by a member of a rival gang inside Tihar prison, officials said on Saturday.
More than 90 jail officials here were transferred on Thursday.
A senior official said some more transfers are likely to take place next week, including from the jail headquarters.
Earlier, an official said the Tajpuriya murder was viewed seriously by the authorities which prompted a streamlining of things and also necessitated the need for ground-level changes.
The step has been taken with a view to send out a strong message that laxity in duties will not be tolerated, the officer had added.
CCTV footage showed Tajpuriya was assaulted with improvised weapons allegedly by four members of the Gogi gang inside the high-security prison last week.
A footage that surfaced days later purportedly showed Tajpuriya being attacked in front of security personnel as well when they were carrying him away after he was stabbed.
