Mumbai: Maharashtra cabinet minister Nawab Malik has links with Dawood Ibrahim’s family, said Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis here on Tuesday.
Fadnavis accused Malik and his family of purchasing a 2.8 acre land from Mohammad Salim Patel, a “front man” of Dawood’s sister Haseena Parker, and Badshah Khan, a 1993 blast convict, in 2005.
The former chief minister told mediapersons that he had documents of five such property deals of Mallick and would hand those over to the appropriate authorities. The BJP Leader said he would also present a copy of the documents to NCP supremo Sharad Pawar to let him know what his party functionaries were indulging in, stated reports in NDTV.
“There is a direct connection with the underworld. Malik did business with people involved in blasts that shook Mumbai. He purchased land from convicts of the case at rates cheaper than market prices. Was this deal to save prime land from being forfeited under TADA law?” the BJP leader said.
The BJP leader’s allegations against Malik came in the wake of a series of controversies following the arrest of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan in a drugs bust case aboard a Goa-bound cruise last month.
Malik accused the NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede of partnering with some BJP leaders in an extortion attempt in the case, besides levelling other charges. Allegations and counter-allegations have followed since then.
