The advocate will be produced before a competent court along with arrested CBI sub-inspector Abhishek Tiwari, who was taken into custody on Wednesday night for allegedly receiving a bribe from Daga, according to the PTI news agency.

The CBI has registered a case against its Sub-inspector; a Nagpur-based advocate and unknown others on certain allegations, including illegal gratification. During the investigation of the said case, CBI has today arrested the Sub Inspector.
