Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik was produced before a special court after the Enforcement Directorate arrested him in a money laundering case probe linked to the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, his aides and the Mumbai underworld.

In the morning, Malik was taken to the ED's office in south Mumbai for questioning and he was later arrested. The 62-year-old NCP leader was taken to the state-run JJ Hospital in the afternoon for a medical check-up after which he was taken to the sessions court. Malik, clad in a white kurta, was brought to the courtroom of Special Judge RN Rokade, designated to hear matters related to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), at 4.50 pm and was made to stand in the witness box.
