The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday submitted a charge sheet against Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik in a money laundering case in the PMLA court. The charge sheet was over 5000 pages long and had to be carried in a steel trunk to the court.
Malik, a senior Nationalist Congress Party leader, was arrested on February 23 in the case and is currently in judicial custody.
The special court for Prevention of Money Laundering Act cases will take cognizance of the charge sheet after verification of the documents, they said.
The ED's case is based on an FIR filed recently by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against Dawood Ibrahim and his aides under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Malik has allegedly had transactions with Dawood's sister Hassena Parkar over twenty years ago.
