A former employee of a company taken over by Maharashtra cabinet minister Nawab Malik said took over the company- Solidus Investment Pvt. Ltd, from the original owner by showing that he was working in the national interest.
On December 20, 2021, in a statement to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), T N Sheshadri Iyenger said that is how the Nationalist Congress Party leader got entry into the Goawala compound premises.
The ED remand report had said that the money paid by Malik for the property was used for funding Dawood's terrorist activities.
Malik is currently behind bars after getting arrested for a money laundering case registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
