The I-T department has provisionally attached 123.16 bigha and 36.07 biswa land allegedly purchased by him. On Sunday, Jain issued a statement, “It has been wrongly and mischievously reported that I purchased some land in the name of some companies. The Indian Express had on Saturday contacted Jain but he had declined to respond. During my practice days, I made investments of around Rs 51 lakh between the years 2007 and 2012,” Jain said on Sunday.
