DEHRADUN: The Punjab Police on Monday afternoon nabbed a suspect from Dehradun in its ongoing probe of the shocking murder of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moose Wala.The suspect was nabbed by the Punjab Police's anti-gangster task force with the help of the Uttarakhand special task force (STF) and Dehradun police. A senior Uttarakhand STF officer while speaking to TOI requesting anonymity, confirmed the development and said the suspect was nabbed "after the joint team of the Punjab Police and the Uttarakhand Police tracked down a car with Punjab registration number on the outskirts of capital Dehradun.""Punjab police had specific inputs about a car in which the suspect was travelling. The joint team then cautiously cordoned off all the exit points of the city and pursued the car near Nayagaon police checkpost about 15km outside the city centre. The suspect was then brought out of the car in which four other people were also travelling," said the officer. He added that the suspect was then quickly taken away by the Punjab Police for further questioning. "In the primary probe, it was found that the suspect had provided logistics to the murderers of Moose Wala. However, further details could only be divulged by the Punjab Police which is probing the serious case," he said.
