A local court today sent Mandeep, alias Mani, a mastermind in the prisoner’s escape from the Panchkula Civil Hospital, to four-day police remand here.

Police officials said they would try to find out the whereabouts of Deepak Kumar from him and recover the motorcycle, pistols, bullets and the spray that Mandeep had supplied.

An engineering student and member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Mandeep has three attempt-to-murder and robbery cases registered against him in Chandigarh.
