“Nawab Malik has dealings with people from the Underworld people convicted in ’93 Mumbai bomb blasts case. He purchased land from convicts of the case on rates cheaper than market rates. Was this deal to save prime land from being forfeited under TADA law?”, he further added.

Earlier, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, while refuting Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik’s allegation that he has relations with Jaydeep Rana who is involved in a drugs trafficking case, said that he will soon present evidence of Malik’s relations with the underworld.

The war of words between Malik and Fadnavis begin when Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Malik alleged that the drugs business in the state flourished under Devendra Fadnavis’s tenure.

Addressing a press conference, Malik had said, “One Jaydeep Rana currently in jail in connection with a drug trafficking case has relations with former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. He was the financial head of a famous River song by former Chief Minister’s wife Amrita Fadnavis. Drugs business in the state grew under his tenure. This is a matter relating to the illegal drugs business in Maharashtra. I demand CBI or judicial enquiry in this issue.”
