Moga, September 8
In the ongoing investigation into the murder of trader Jatinder Kumar, alias Pinka, on July14, the police have brought dreaded gangster Mandeep Singh Dhruv on production warrants from the jail.
Dhruv is believed to be operating a gang of extortionists and supari killers from the jail with the help of some NRIs and local associates.
Accepting the police request, a court today allowed two-day police remand of Dhruv besides giving the go-ahead to conduct his narco test to ascertain his involvement in the murder.
Investigations revealed that Dhruv’s NRI friends, Ramandeep Singh (Canada) and Arshdeep Singh (UK) made extortion calls from abroad.
Dhruv already faces at least 10 cases of murder, shootout and extortion in various cities/towns of the Malwa belt. He is in the jail for the past over six years. — TNS
