Mansa, Oct 03: Gangster Deepak alias Tinu, an accused in Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder case and a close aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, fled from the custody of the Crime Investigations Agency (CIA) unit of the Mansa police during the wee hours on Sunday.
A senior Punjab police officer, on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Tinu has escaped from custody and the state police have been put on alert. The Punjab police have also launched a search operation in Punjab and Haryana as well. Meanwhile, the role of Mansa CIA in charge is under the scanner for the gangster’s escape.
The Mansa police brought Tinu on a production warrant from Tarn Taran district’ Goindwal Sahib jail a couple of days ago, in a separate case. It is learned that he fled from the CIA custody on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday. The Punjab police brought him on transit remand from the Tihar jail in Delhi on July 4 in the Moose Wala murder case. Tinu is among the 24 accused charge-sheeted in the Moosewala murder case. As per the charge sheet filed by the Mansa police, Tinu is a close aide of gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Jaggu Bhagwanpuria and was lodged with them inside different jails. “Tinu was in Tihar jail and directly participated in the planning of Moose Wala’s murder. He was instrumental in connecting Bishnoi from Tihar jail with gangster Goldy Brar, who was believed to be in Canada at that time, through mobile phones for planning and execution of Moose Wala’s murder,” claimed the police. Popular singer and politician Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead near his home in May, triggering a massive probe. The downgrading of his security cover by the Punjab government was widely criticized following his killing. More than 30 accused have been identified so far and key links have been drawn to Bishnoi. Interestingly, the gangster escaped from police custody almost three weeks after a mobile phone was recovered from his possession. On September 12, Gondwal Sahib jail officials recovered two mobile phones from the barrack where six accused in the Moose Wala murder case including Tinu were lodged.

A case was registered against three shooters who killed Moose Wala--Priyavart Fauji, Ankit Sersa, and Kashish-- and three others who provided assistance-- Tinu, Keshav Kumar, and Sachin Bhiwani. Sources said he might have been in constant touch with aides outside and looking for an opportunity.
