Nawab Malik Denied Interim Bail, Gets Permit To Get Treatment At Private Hospital

Nawab Malik was arrested by the ED in February in connection with a money laundering probe linked to the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim.

New Delhi: A Mumbai court on Friday refused to grant interim bail on medical grounds to Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik, but allowed him to get treatment at a private hospital, PTI reported. Malik was arrested by the ED in February in connection with a money laundering probe linked to the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim.

Judge RN Rokade allowed Malik's daughter to remain present during his treatment. The court also rapped the ED for not taking Malik to the doctor who has been treating his condition since the beginning.

The 62-year-old Maharashtra minister was arrested on February 23. He is currently in judicial custody and is lodged at Arthur Road Jail.

Malik had sought temporary bail for a period of six weeks on medical emergency ground. He claimed that he was suffering from kidney-related issues. Last month, the NCP leader was admitted to the state-run JJ Hospital for a few days.

Last month, the ED submitted a chargesheet of over 5,000 pages against Nawab Malik. The agency has also provisionally attached five properties belonging to the Malik family in Mumbai and other parts of the state.

The ED has alleged that a prime property in Kurla, worth Rs 300 crore, was usurped by Malik through Solidus Investments Pvt. Ltd, a company purportedly owned by his family members. The property belonged to one Munira Plumber. 

The ED has claimed that this was done in connivance with Dawood's sister Haseena Parkar, her bodyguard Salim Patel and 1993 bomb blasts convict Sardar Shah Wali Khan.
