Sidhu Moosewala killing

Two days after gangster Deepak Tinu escaped from the custody of the Mansa CIA team, the police are still groping in the dark and have failed to trace him.

Police sources said CIA in-charge Pritpal Singh took him alone in his private Breeza car from the Mansa CIA office around 11 pm on Saturday to his official residence in a posh area in Mansa, where Tinu was left alone to meet his girlfriend in a room. Pritpal Singh went to another room and slept, while Tinu, along with his friend, escaped from the spot. However, senior police officials are tightlipped over the issue and have not yet confirmed it.

The police today scrutinised the footage of CCTV cameras to get a clue. They also searched the residence of Pritpal Singh.

His residence is located in a posh area in Mansa, which houses the residences of many senior district administration officials. The gangster escaping from this area has raised questions about the security and policing in the area.
