Maderna Arrested In Bhanwari Case, CBI Files Charge Sheet

Jodhpur, Dec 2: Sacked Rajasthan Minister Mahipal Maderna was today arrested by the CBI along with the brother of a ruling Congress MLA in Bhanwari Devi abduction case, hours after the agency filed a charge sheet against three other accused.

Maderna, 59, who was sacked from Ashok Gehlot cabinet on October 16 after his name cropped up in the case, and Parasram Bishnoi, brother of ruling party MLA Malkhan Singh, were taken into custody this evening after another round of questioning, CBI sources said.

The arrest came after the agency filed its first charge sheet in the sensational case in a court here, charging the three accused - Shahabuddin, Baldev Jat and Sohan Lal, who are in judicial custody, with entering into the conspiracy to abduct the 36-year old nurse with an intent to murder her.
