New Delhi: Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik's judicial custody in a case linked to Dawood Ibrahim was on Monday (April 4, 2022) extended till April 18.
The NCP leader was arrested on February 23 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money-laundering probe linked to the fugitive gangster and his aides. The NCP leader was in ED's custody till March 7 and was later sent to judicial custody till March 21.
On March 21, Malik was produced before a special court, designated to hear cases related to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), and Special Judge RN Rokade had extended his judicial custody till April 4. The court had also allowed his application seeking a bed, mattress and chair in jail, but directed him to not misuse this permission.
Earlier on April 2, Malik had moved to the Supreme Court against an order of the Bombay High Court which had rejected his interim application seeking immediate release in a case of money laundering.
In his plea which was drafted by advocate Ankur Chawla, Malik had challenged the March 15 order of the division bench of the high court which had rejected the application saying just because the special PMLA court's order remanding him in custody is not in his favour, it does not make that order illegal or wrong.
