The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested BJP MP from Junagarh, Dinu Bogha Solanki in connection with the murder of RTI activist Amit Jethwa.
Earlier, Solanki was questioned by a special team of the CBI in New Delhi and later he was booked by the agency. He was earlier given a clean chit by the Gujarat Police.
