New Delhi, Jun 20: CBI on Tuesday arrested former Ministers of Jammu and Kashmir GA Mir and Raman Mattoo in connection with the Kashmir sex scandal, CBI sources said.
While Mir is a Congress MLA from South Kashmir, Mattoo is an independent MLA from Habba Kadal constituency, where the alleged kingpin Sabeena used to stay.
While Mattoo was picked up from Srinagar, Mir was arrested in Delhi.
Matoo and Mir have been booked under Section 5 of the Immoral Trafficng (Prevention) Act for procuring persons for prostitution.
Matto and Mir who were ministers in the erstwhile Mufti Mohammed Sayeed government had been named by Sabeena, the alleged kingpin in this sex racket.
The CBI action comes a day after the Jammu and Kashmir High Court had asked them to vigorously investigate the persons named by Sabeena in her statement before the investigating agency.
