Police custody of Tinu’s girlfriend extended

Mansa court on Friday also extended the police remand of gangster Deepak Tinu’s alleged girlfriend by four days.

Tinu is an accused in Moose Wala’s murder and an aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Following his escape, Punjab Police had arrested and sacked the Mansa CIA unit in-charge, sub-inspector Pritpal Singh, who was also a member of the SIT probing the murder case.

It is being suspected that Tinu has already fled the country.
