Atiq had allegedly assaulted a Lucknow-based businessman Mohit Jaiswal in Deoria jail — where he was lodged — in December 2018 after getting him abducted.
The businessman had claimed that Ahmed forced him to sign away property worth Rs 40 crore.
In his police complaint, Mohit Jaiswal, alleged that Atiq Ahmed, his son Umar and about 15 others forcibly took away his SUV in which he was driven to Deoria from the state capital.
Police booked Atiq, his son Umar, and others on various charges, including attempt to murder, after Jaiswal filed the complaint at the Krishna Nagar police station in Lucknow.
