Delhi Police have nabbed Deepak Tinu, key accused in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case, from Rajasthan’s Ajmer on Wednesday.

Tinu had escaped from the custody of Mansa police on the night of October 1. Mansa CIA incharge Pritpal Singh was dismissed from service for his escape.
Police sources claim Pritpal took Tinu in his private car from CIA office to his official residence, where Tinu was left alone to meet his girlfriend in a private room and Pritpal Singh went to another room. In the meantime, Tinu along with his girlfriend fled the spot.
Tinu is among the 24 accused whose names figure in the chargesheet filed by the Mansa police in Moosewala case. He was brought from Delhi on a transit remand from Tihar Jail on July 4 for interrogation.
As per the chargesheet, Tinu was involved in provided logistic support as he used to connect Bishnoi, who was lodged in Tihar Jail, to Goldy Brar, the mastermind hiding abroad, for execution of the murder of Moosewala.

The gangster was arrested from Bengaluru by the Bhiwani police in December the same year. Tinu faces several cases, including those of murder and extortion, in various states.
