As the remand of Delhi Police ended today, Mansa Police went to Delhi again.

As per a Mansa police officer, Tinu’s transit remand has been obtained and now Mansa police has left for Punjab with him.

He will be interrogated by the Anti-Gangster Task Force team at same Mansa CIA office, from where he had escaped after undergoing medical examination at the Civil Hospital of Mansa. He is likely to be produce in the court late in the night.

On October 1, Deepak Tinu had escaped from the Mansa police custody when Mansa CIA Incharge Pritpal Singh took him in his Breeza car alone. Later on the same day, Pritpal Singh was dismissed and arrested for his connivance in escape of Tinu from police custody.

Mansa police have so far arrested five persons, including Pritpal and Tinu’s girlfriend, for helping the gangster escape.
