On February 24, the special prevention of money laundering act court remanded Nawab Malik, Maharashtra Minister for Minority Affairs, Auqaf and Skill Development in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government to the custody of Enforcement Directorate (ED) till March 3. When he was being taken to court from ED’s office, he told reporters, “We will fight, we will win and we will expose everyone”.
The Nationalist Congress Party’s (NCP) leader is mired in an alleged money laundering case of 1999. He is believed to have bought an ancestral property from one Munira Plumber through Dawood’s sister Haseena Parkar (now deceased) in suburban Mumbai for an amount of ₹55 lakh instead of its then estimated worth of ₹3.3 crore. The offence allegedly committed by Mr. Malik is not giving the owners the due consideration for the said property.
