"ED officials came to my house early morning, took me to the ED office, detained me and later, recorded my statement. They gave me summon copy at the ED office and asked me to sign it," Nawab Malik told the court.
After Nawab Malik was arrested, he told the media, "We will fight and we will win. Will expose all." ED officials said Malik was arrested as he was "evasive" in his replies, PTI reported.
Malik was under ED lens over alleged links to some property deals with those convicted for the 1993 Mumbai blasts, including mastermind Dawood Ibrahim.
In its remand application, the ED told the court that Nawab Malik was "actively" involved in terror funding. It said interrogation of Malik might reveal crucial facts that are in his exclusive domain.
"In lieu of getting control illegal occupation of this property, he funded a prominent member of D-Gang...the details of this funding needs to be investigated," ED told the court, PTI reported.
The ED claimed that for usurping this property, "members of D-Gang and Nawab Malik connived together and executed several legal documents to put a facade of genuinity over this criminal act".
The ED conducted raids on February 15 in Mumbai in connection with the operations of the underworld, including alleged illegal property deals and hawala transactions linked to Dawood Ibrahim's aides.
The searches were conducted at 10 locations, including premises linked to Dawood Ibrahim's late sister Haseena Parkar, brother Iqbal Kaskar and Salim Qureshi, brother-in-law of gangster Chhota Shakeel.
Kaskar, who was already in jail, was arrested by the ED last week. It also questioned Salim Qureshi and Parkar's son.
