New Delhi, July 17

The CBI on Wednesday searched the premises of former Samajwadi Party MP Ateeq Ahmad and others in Allahabad and Lucknow in a case related to the kidnapping and assault of a businessman, officials here said.

The searches are being conducted at six places in two Uttar Pradesh cities, they said, adding that details would be given later.

The CBI last month had registered a case against Ahmad for allegedly assaulting and kidnapping real estate dealer Mohit Jaiswal in December 2018 while he was in Deoria Jail.

The case was registered following the Supreme Court’s direction, the official said.

Jaiswal was kidnapped from Lucknow and taken to Deoria Jail, where he was allegedly assaulted by Ahmad and his aides who were lodged there and forced to transfer his business to them, the CBI FIR claimed.

Ahmad was an SP member in the 14th Lok Sabha from 2004 to 2009 from Phulpur in Uttar Pradesh. PTI
