Shokeen has accused opposition parties of orchestrating the attack, while authorities have launched an investigation.
"After checking multiple CCTV footage, we found that the car driver was trying to avoid a motorcycle rider coming from the opposite side. The car first hit the motorcycle, and the driver changed lanes to avoid a hard collision. We are further investigating the matter," police said.
Shokeen is a former Independent MLA from Mundka Assembly constituency.
He was booked in a case filed under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, or MCOCA, in 2015, after the unearthing of an AK-47 from a plot belonging to him.
He escaped police custody in 2018 while being taken to a city hospital and was re-arrested in 2020.
