Nawab Malik arrested in PMLA case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday put Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik under arrest.

ED officials took Malik to a government hospital for medical check up and produced him before the special PMLA court. Senior counsel Amit Desai and Taraq Sayed argued for Malik.

The minister said ED officials came to his residence and forcibly took him to their ED office. "Later, they handed me the summons and told me I am arrested," Malik told the court from the witness box.

The NCP leader, who was arrested after seven hours of questioning, said while being taken to the hospital following his arrest that he would not bow down and expose everyone. "Jhukenge nahi, darenge nahi, expose karenge (we will not bow down, won't fear, will expose all)," Malik said.

Soon after, he also shared a tweet making a similar statement.
