The matter came to light in a probe by the Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police based on complaints against Chaudhary from both the parties, the police said.
According to the police, Surender Jain and his wife Kanika had purchased 2/3 share of an undivided agricultural land in the revenue estate of Neb Sarai village, New Delhi, from its recorded owners in 1988 through Chaudhary.
