A special court in Mumbai on Wednesday extended the judicial custody of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik till November 2 in an alleged money laundering case.

Nawab Malik, a former Maharashtra minister, was arrested on February 23 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) by the Enforcement Directorate in a probe linked to the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his aides.

According to PTI, the ED has also filed an application before the special PMLA court seeking that a medical board should ascertain Nawab Malik's health status.

The court said it would hear the plea on November 2, reported PTI.

In May, the court had allowed Malik to be admitted to a private hospital for medical treatment while denying him bail on health grounds.
