Nisham supposedly attacked Chandrabose because he was slow in opening the gate to his apartment in Kerala.
Earlier the Supreme Court of India had rejected his bail plea, saying the case was "an example of how the rich have become entirely egocentric and megalomaniacs".
Recently he has been in the news for having a personal helper in jail alluding to vip treatment where he is serving his term.
