Police sources claim Manna Dhaipei had provided logistic support to the attackers in Sidhu Moosewala murder case. He is the one who provided both the cars — Corolla and Bolero.
He was classified as the only “person of interest” among the five detained from Dehradun.
Mansa Chief Judicial Magistrate Atul Kamboj sent Manpreet Manna on five-day police remand.
The two other gangsters have been brought from Bathinda and Ferozepur jails, said a senior police officer.

His village Dhaipei is close to Burj Jawahar Ke where Moosewala was shot.
