Mumbai. A special PMLA court on Monday extended the judicial custody of Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik by 14 days till April 4.
However, the special court has accepted his plea to provide him with a bed, mattress and chair during his judicial custody.
Malik, 62, was arrested on February 23 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an alleged money laundering case arising out of a tainted land deal involving mafia don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar.
Continuing in custody since then, Malik had moved the Bombay High Court last week to quash the ED’s case. But his petition was rejected.
Later, the Nationalist Congress Party decided to relieve Malik from his portfolios and the post of guardian minister of two districts, which would be allotted by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to other cabinet colleagues.
