Two days after his arrest, Nationalist Congress Party minister Nawab Malik on Friday was admitted to the JJ Hospital after feeling uneasy in the ED custody. “During the ED custody, Malik complained about some health issues to the central agency’s personnel, following which he was hospitalised,” said an official.
NCP MP Supriya Sule said she has been in constant touch with Malik’s daughters and they, through his lawyers, are seeking information from the ED about his health. "We are really concerned about his health. I have been in constant touch through WhatsApp with his daughters and we want to know his health reports from time to time. We have requested his lawyer to give information on what tests are being carried out and what treatment is being given to him," she said
Malik was arrested by the ED on February 23 in a money laundering case. Following his arrest, a special PMLA court in Mumbai sent him to ED custody till March 3, in a money laundering probe linked to the activities of underworld fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim.
