Sidhu Moosewala murder: Punjab Police arrests gangster Deepak Tinu's 'girlfriend' from Mumbai airport

He was charge-sheeted in the Moosewala murder case and reportedly brought out of jail in Punjab's Mansa town by a CBI official.

Punjab Police on Sunday arrested a woman, who is allegedly the girlfriend of Deepak Tinu, an accused in the killing of famed Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala and a close aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, from Mumbai airport. According to reports, the woman was arrested in an intelligence-based operation.

According to police, the woman was with Tinu when he escaped and was on the way to Maldives. Officials have also said that further investigations are underway to nab Tinu.

Earlier this week, Tinu escaped from the custody of the Crime Investigations Agency (CIA) of Punjab Police in a dramatic way.

He was charge-sheeted in the Moosewala murder case and reportedly brought out of jail in Punjab's Mansa town by a CBI official. Tinu was travelling in a private car on October 1 without wearing handcuffs and other security personnel when he fled.

Tinu, hailing from Haryana's Bhiwani, fled after he was brought on a production warrant from Goindwal Sahib jail in Tarn Taran district in another case. As per Punjab police, Tinu was brought on transit remand from the Tihar jail in Delhi on July 4 in the Moosewala killing.

Moosewala was shot dead by six shooters at Jawaharke village in Mansa district on May 29. Punjab Police informed that the CIA incharge has been dismissed from service under Article 311 of the Constitution.

After facing massive criticism, Punjab Police constituted a four-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to unravel the conspiracy of the escape of the gangster.

Punjab's Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said that investigations into this case are going on at full pace and several police teams are on manhunt to nab the escapee.
