Ramesh Awate, of the crime branch of Mumbai police, had tried to knock down Atul Pethe on April 21 near Prashant Corner ice-cream store in Pachpakdi in Thane.
Thane city police said Awate and Pethe, who owns an ice-cream shop, were friends and there was a dispute between them over some financial matter which made Awate take a drastic step.
"On April 21, Awte came to Pethe's shop in Naupada area and started hurling abuses at him. Thereafter, the accused drove his vehicle in a negligent manner to harm the victim. Pethe clung to the vehicle and was dragged for some distance," the release said.
The victim sustained injuries in the incident, it said. Awte was yet to be arrested and efforts were on to nab him, police said.
Awate has been booked under IPC sections 279 (rash driving) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace).
