Gandhinagar, July 25: The CBI today arrested former Gujarat minister Amit Shah in Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case after he appeared before the agency for questioning here.
46-year-old Shah, who earlier made a dramatic appearance before the media at the BJP state headquarters in Ahmedabad after having evaded CBI summons in the case since Thursday, drove to the agency's office here accompanied by BJP state office-bearers.
Waving to the mediapersons after alighting from his car at the CBI office, he found that officers of the probe agency were waiting for him.
"The CBI officials told Shah that they will take him straight to the court to which he agreed," BJP leader Vijay Rupani, who accompanied Shah, said.
He was whisked in a car from the CBI office to the residence of Judicial Magistrate A Y Dave by the agency officials, including IG P Kandaswamy.
