Tinu, one of the accused in singer Sidhu Moosewala’s murder, escaped from the custody of the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) unit of the Mansa police last week.
Pritpal Singh, who was the CIA Incharge Mansa, had allegedly taken Tinu in his vehicle to his official residence to facilitate a meeting with the gangster’s alleged girlfriend.
Later, the gangster along with his girlfriend escaped.
The Punjab Police has dismissed from service and apprehended Pritpal Singh and an FIR was registered against him for dereliction in duty.
