ED interrogating Nawab Malik in money laundering case, Iqbal Kaskar names the minister

Mumbai : NpNews24 Online NCP Nawab Malik | The Enforcement Directorate is interrogating NCP spokesperson and State Minority Minister Nawab Malik. This development follows the interrogation of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s brother Iqbal Kaskar by the agency.

 

It is said that Malik has been summoned by the ED based on inputs they got from Kaskar. An ED team arrived at Malik’s residence at 5 am on Wednesday. Malik told them that he would visit their office at 7 am. Later, he visited the office, where he is being interrogated.

 

Malik’s inquiry is related to a money laundering case. The BJP recently alleged that Malik had bought land from an accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts. The minister clarified on the allegation later in a press meet.

 

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) suspects that Dawood is trying to spread unrest in the country. An offence has been registered in this regard. Various security agencies are probing the case. Iqbal Kaskar is involved in land dealings using Dawood’s name. The money laundering took place in one such deal. Kaskar was interrogated in the case, when he named Malik. Hence, Malik has been summoned by the ED.

 

Malik’s interrogation by the ED is likely to stoke political fire in the State.

 

The NCP has alleged that the action is being taken to gag the leaders, who are criticising the BJP and the Modi government. Security has been tightened in and around the ED office as a precautionary measure. Barricades have been installed in the area.
