CBI’s lawyer, Special Public Prosecutor in the Adarsh case in Bombay High Court, Mandar Goswami was also arrested for allegedly accepting the bribe to dilute charges against the duo.

CBI stumbled upon this information during the questioning of an Income Tax lawyer J K Jagiasi, who was arrested recently in another case.
