In the anime it was during the time skip. Well, I don't recall that someone specifically mentioned in the anime when Han was captured, the only clues we have are Deidara's words to Naruto about the previous Jinchuriki Akatsuki captured, but these were in both manga and anime. What's more important, he didn't really specify if it was in part 1, during the time skip or lately.
