Recently, the news has been making the rounds in the headlines, which shows the loopholes in the police departments. We are talking about the recent update on Sidhu Moosewala’s murder case. One of the suspects in the murder of singer Sidhu Moosewala, gangster Deepak Tinu, managed to escape from police custody in the Mansa district, causing Punjab Police to fire the officer in charge and arrest him.

Further, it has been reported that the CIA in charge, according to police sources, around 11 p.m. on Saturday, Pritpal Singh drove him by himself from the Mansa CIA headquarters to his official apartment in an upscale neighbourhood of Mansa, where Tinu was left alone to meet his lover in a room. While Tinu and his companion fled the area, Pritpal Singh moved to another room and fell asleep. Senior police officers are being coy about the situation and have not officially confirmed it.

Who is Deepak Tinu?

Gangster Deepak Tinu, one of the accused in singer Sidhu Moosewala’s murder has hailed from Bhiwani, Haryana. Earlier in 2017, Tinu, who is charged with numerous crimes across several states, including murder and extortion, managed to flee from Haryana with the aid of another gangster and his aide after dousing a police official with pepper spray. He was taken into custody by the Bhiwani police from Bengaluru later that December.

Tinu was a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi and Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, the main accused in the Moosewala murder case. Tinu is considered one of the strong gangsters. As Tinu was booked in at least 58 cases, including murder, registered across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi, and other states.
