Punjab Police on Tuesday finally got custody and transit remand of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi as it told a court in Delhi that he is a key conspirator in singer Sidhu Moose Wala's murder. This came in a hearing in which Punjab Advocate General Anmol Rattan Sidhu assured the court that the state will take "full responsibility" for the gangster's security.
Punjab Police had filed two applications - one for his arrest and the other for his transit remand (or physical custody). The court first allowed the arrest and then delivered the order for physical custody a little later in the evening.
