Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik's judicial custody was extended till April 22 after he complained about health issues.

Nawab Malik was arrested on charges of money laundering in a case registered against underworld don and fugitive Dawood Ibrahim and his aides. He was held as he was not cooperating in the probe by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Nawab Malik told a special court that he has been facing swelling in his legs because of kidney ailments.

He said that whenever he complained of pain in his legs, the jail authorities gave him painkillers. However, Malik said he wanted a permanent solution to his medical condition.

In February, Nawab Malik complained of stomach pain, following which he was admitted to JJ hospital in Mumbai for a routine medical check-up.
