Guwahati: Maharashtra Minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik has been arrested on Wednesday by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case linked to Dawood Ibrahim and the underworld.
Moments after being arrested, the NCP leader said, “Have been arrested, but won’t be scared. We will fight and win.”
Malik was grilled by the ED today for over six hours. According to ED sources, the investigating agency is probing Malik over an alleged land deal linked with the fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s brother Iqbal Kaskar.
The ED had summoned the minister today morning and brought him to its office.
Meanwhile, the NCP workers are protesting near the party’s headquarters, located close to the ED’s office in south Mumbai. The workers shouted slogans slamming the BJP-led central government and ED.
