In a case involving money laundering, the Bombay High Court denied Nawab Malik, the leader of the National Congress Party and a former minister for Maharashtra, bail due to his medical grounds.
The Enforcement Directorate detained Malik in February 2022 in connection with a case involving the wanted gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his associates. The NCP leader is receiving treatment at a private facility while being held in judicial custody.
Malik had made a medical request for bail. Anil Singh, representing the ED, opposed Malik’s bail, arguing that he is undergoing treatment at a hospital of his choice.
