The CBI has also referred to another corruption case registered against Chaudhary, wherein he was booked by Mumbai’s anti-corruption cell where he was posted as deputy forest conservator at Dadar and Nagar Haveli in 2010.

Meanwhile, the defence counsel withdrew his bail application. The bail plea will now be filed later.
