Patiala: Punjab police on Wednesday arrested one more person in connection with sensational Nabha jailbreak case.

It was in Gopi’s house where the plan to get the gangsters released was rehearsed before execution, they said.

Assistant jail superintendent Bhim Singh, head warden Jagmeet Singh and a sweet shop owner Tejinder Sharma were arrested yesterday on the charges of abetment and criminal conspiracy in the Nabha jail break case.
