Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and former minister Nawab Malik’s judicial custody was extended by 14 days on Wednesday by a Mumbai court.
He is currently admitted to a hospital in Kurla where he is undergoing treatment.
Earlier in September, Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a plea before the special PMLA court seeking the setting up of a medical board to examine the health of Malik who is admitted at a private hospital in Mumbai for over four months.
The Arthur Road Jail Administration also filed a petition in the PMLA Court saying that the jail authorities can provide facilities to take Nawab Malik to the hospital.
Malik is admitted to a private hospital located in the Kurla area of Mumbai for over four months. The court had given six weeks to the NCP leader for treatment.
And now, ED has filed a petition in the special PMLA court on Thursday for a medical board to be constituted to examine the health of Nawab Malik.
Nawab Malik was arrested on February 23 by the ED over a property deal allegedly linked to the aides of underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim.
