The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday made its first arrest in a case against former Maharashtra Minister Anil Deshmukh. A senior official of the probe agency confirmed that the CBI team has arrested one person identified as Santosh Jagtap.

"He was a middle man. A raid was conducted at his house in August and Rs 9 lakh were recovered. He was not joining the investigation despite several summonses. A court has issued a non-bailable warrant against him," said the official.
