A CBI team Wednesday arrested former Jharkhand minister Bandhu Tirkey in connection with a disproportionate assets (DA) case, an official of the investigating agency said.
He was produced before the special CBI court of A K Mishra, which sent him to judicial custody till December 15.
An anti-corruption division team of the CBI arrested the former minister from his residence at Banhora in Ranchi district, the official said.
The arrest was made following a non-bailable arrest warrant issued by the CBI court in a disproportionate assets case, he said.
Tirkey was the HRD minister in the Madhu Koda government between 2006 and 2008.
Koda himself was convicted by a court of law, sentenced to three years in jail and fined Rs 25 lakh in December 2017 in a coal scam case.
Tirkey is at present the general secretary of the Babulal Marandi-led Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) party.
