New Delhi, Jul 14 (IANS): The Punjab Police on Thursday arrested two accused, Ankit Sersa and Sachin Chaudhary, in connection with the Sidhu Singh Moosewala murder case.

Videography of transit remand from Delhi to Mansa (Punjab) of the accused shall be carried out for his safety," the Punjab Police said.

The Delhi court allowed one-day transit remand of both the accused. Now the Punjab Police will take them to Punjab where they will be produced before the concerned court.
