They should have sent summons first but they picked me up from my house,&#8221; he said when he was put in the witness box.<\/li>\n<li>Defiantly waving his fist in the air to the waiting media persons while stepping out of the ED office, Mr Malik said\u00a0he won&#8217;t bow down. &#8220;We will fight and win, and expose everyone,&#8221; he said.\u00a0He was then taken by ED officials in a vehicle to the state-run J J Hospital for a medical check-up.<\/li>\n<li>According to sources, Mr Malik was grilled over alleged transactions with gangster Dawood&#8217;s associates and land deals with them. He was evasive and didn&#8217;t cooperate with the investigation, the ED said.<\/li>\n<li>Mr Malik is the second Maharashtra Minister to be arrested by a central probe agency in four months. Former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh was arrested by the ED in November last year. After today&#8217;s arrest,\u00a0Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar has called for an emergency meeting of\u00a0top party leaders at his residence.<\/li>\n<li>On February 15, the ED had carried out raids at 10 locations including premises linked to Dawood Ibrahim&#8217;s late sister Haseena Parkar, brother Iqbal Kaskar and Salim Qureshi alias Salim Fruit, brother-in-law of gangster Chhota Shakeel. The agency\u00a0also took custody of\u00a0Dawood Ibrahim&#8217;s brother Iqbal Kaskar in the same case. According to sources, some evidence related to\u00a0property purchased by Nawab Malik has surfaced during the ongoing investigation.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/nawab-malik-maharashtra-minister-and-ncp-leader-questioned-by-enforcement-directorate-in-mumbai-2783775\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">T<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/nawab-malik-maharashtra-minister-and-ncp-leader-questioned-by-enforcement-directorate-in-mumbai-2783775\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">he 62-year-old Minister\u00a0was taken to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office this morning<\/a>\u00a0for questioning. ED\u00a0officials reached this home at 6 am where he was questioned for an hour.\u00a0He was then brought to the ED office and questioned again for close to\u00a0eight\u00a0hours.<\/li>\n<li>While Mr Malik was being questioned, NCP workers protested near the party&#8217;s headquarters, located close to the ED office in south Mumbai, and shouted slogans slamming the BJP-led central government and the probe agency.\u00a0&#8220;The protest is against the unjust questioning of Nawab Malik as he was exposing the BJP+NCB+CBI+ED nexus on a daily basis. We will not be cowed down. NCP will keep exposing BJP and all central agencies,&#8221; party spokesperson Sanjay Tatkare said.<\/li>\n<li>Mr Malik had recently made headlines for attacking the\u00a0Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)\u00a0Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede accusing him of several service-related wrongdoings after the anti-drugs officer led the raid\u00a0on a cruise ship on Mumbai&#8217;s shore in October last year and arrested 20 people including superstar Shah Rukh Khan&#8217;s son Aryan Khan. Mr Malik&#8217;s son-in-law Sameer Khan was also arrested in a drugs case by the NCB&#8217;s Mumbai unit led by Mr Wankhede\u00a0last year.<\/li>\n<li>Reacting to the allegations against Mr Malik, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said invoking Dawood was a convenient way to sully someone&#8217;s reputation. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know about the case against him but Dawood&#8217;s name has always been invoked to try to defame rivals,&#8221; he said. Mr Pawar claimed that he was also accused of having ties with the underworld when he was the state&#8217;s\u00a0Chief Minister. &#8220;25 years later, the same trick is being used to harass and defame,&#8221; he added.<\/li>\n<li>The BJP has rubbished allegations of political vendetta and accused Mr Malik of buying land from gangster Dawood Ibrahim&#8217;s aide. BJP MLA from Mumbai&#8217;s Ghatkopar West Ram Kadam also claimed\u00a0that since the land was about to get seized by the government, the minister\u00a0bought it at nominal rates from a bomb blast accused.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"AV614ae73c247c816b3714756b\">\n<div id=\"aniBox\">\n<div id=\"aniplayer_AV614ae73c247c816b3714756b-1645621158196\">\n<div id=\"aniplayer_AV614ae73c247c816b3714756b-1645621158196gui\">\n<div id=\"av-caption\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"av-container\" class=\" av-desktop \">\n<div id=\"av-inner\">\n<div id=\"slot\">\n<div id=\"videoslot\" class=\"loaded\">\n<div id=\"AVplayer0\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><video src=\"https:\/\/rr7---sn-5jucgv5qc5oq-itqy.googlevideo.com\/videoplayback?expire=1645649968&amp;ei=sC8WYqaxNaqGjuMPpc-6wAE&amp;ip=183.83.219.82&amp;id=444930587496f962&amp;itag=22&amp;source=youtube&amp;requiressl=yes&amp;mh=iL&amp;mm=31&amp;mn=sn-5jucgv5qc5oq-itqy&amp;ms=au&amp;mv=m&amp;mvi=7&amp;pcm2cms=yes&amp;pl=22&amp;susc=gvp&amp;acao=yes&amp;ctier=L&amp;mime=video\/mp4&amp;vprv=1&amp;dur=40.565&amp;lmt=1640246653942123&amp;mt=1645620779&amp;txp=4432434&amp;sparams=expire,ei,ip,id,itag,source,requiressl,susc,acao,ctier,mime,vprv,dur,lmt&amp;sig=AOq0QJ8wRAIgQg_1Xg_NptXcBf4bL5dC2Zt6AEN0HBXDee8fdxgD-L8CICSK4LYybLQJ4iowm5_tXe07UTNJZhaMxECbxqRDFG_f&amp;lsparams=mh,mm,mn,ms,mv,mvi,pcm2cms,pl&amp;lsig=AG3C_xAwRQIhAOikIEhkO9CppUcOV931FK5dgS7ERH4Xe4uUdkC3AMC4AiBVI1z-tq_e_1aopsuxtn7QYgp0aEsu_av8kIdFPmJBKw==&amp;cpn=17jPeX-dEYxzcMVp\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/video><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"gui\">\n<div id=\"timeline\" class=\" av-bottom\">\n<div id=\"timeline-buffer\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"timeline-moveto\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"timeline-progress\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"buttons\">\n<div id=\"left\">\n<div id=\"play-pause\" class=\"pause\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"right\">\n<div id=\"sound\">\n<div class=\"off\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"close-btn\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"aniview-credit\">Ads by<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"anibid\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cmt_btn\"><a class=\"btn_bm cmt-ac cmt-dn\"><span class=\"ndtv-cmnt-cnt\">10<\/span>Comments<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"story_footer\">\n<div class=\"ft-social\">\n<div class=\"social-tags\">\n<div class=\"lftTxt\">\n<p class=\"ft-social--txt\">Follow our special coverage of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/elections\">Elections 2022<\/a>\u00a0and get fastest Results on<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nawab Malik was questioned for around eight hours at the ED office before his arrest. 10 Mumbai:\u00a0Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik was today arrested after questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case linked to the activities of the Mumbai underworld, fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his aides.
