The special court has allowed Maharashtra government minister Nawab Malik to eat home cooked food. At the same time, the court has said that during the interrogation of Malik, his lawyer can be present. Significantly, Maharashtra’s Minority Affairs Minister Nawab Malik, who was arrested in a money laundering case, had on Thursday filed a petition demanding homemade food and medicines while in the custody of the ED. His plea was allowed by Special Judge RN Rokade under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The court also allowed his lawyer to be present during the interrogation. The court observed that Malik’s lawyer Bhumika Gada is allowed to be present remotely. She will not have any consultation with the accused during interrogation. Also, no interference by the lawyer in the investigation will be accepted in any way.
Senior NCP leader Malik was on Wednesday questioned by the ED for nearly five hours in an alleged money laundering case involving the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his associates. After this Malik was arrested under PMLA.
The ED case is based on the recent FIR registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and others. The NIA had registered a criminal complaint under the Unlawful Activities Act.
After the arrest of Nawab Malik, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar had said in his defense that Malik was being harassed because he raised his voice against the misuse of the central government and central investigative agencies. Pawar said that we had apprehension that such action might be taken as Malik speaks openly. Pawar said that it is a simple matter. If there is a Muslim activist, then he is linked to Dawood Ibrahim. While he has no connection with the underworld but it is done.
On the arrest of Nawab Malik, former Maharashtra CM and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis had said that the entire government (Maharashtra government) is standing behind him to save the country’s enemy like Dawood through which he got help and his ministerial post. This government will have to answer.
