Lucknow: The CBI has arrested two tainted lawyers during ongoing probe against them on the directives of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, official sources said Thursday.
Parashuram Mishra and Mirza Tausif Baig were arrested by the CBI from Delhi yesterday for their alleged involvement in vandalism and ruckus inside the court premises, they said.
The court had last year directed the CBI to initiate proceedings against the lawyers after which the agency launched a probe into 11 cases.
