Sources say Nawab Malik was grilled over alleged transactions with Dawood Ibrahim's associates and land deals.
Nawab Malik, the second Maharashtra Minister to be arrested by a central probe agency in four months, faces charges related to a land deal involving terrorist Dawood Ibrahim.
The Enforcement Directorate is investigating money-laundering linked to the underworld and had recently carried out multiple raids besides filing cases against the underworld. Iqbal Kaskar, Dawood Ibrahim's brother, was arrested in the case last week.
Some evidence showed transactions between Nawab Malik and associates of Dawood Ibrahim, said Enforcement Directorate sources.
The agency first searched Nawab Malik briefly before taking him to its south Mumbai office. The minister was arrested after five hours of questioning.
