NCP Leader Nawab Malik Charged in Money Laundering Case Linked to Dawood Ibrahim

Mumbai, November 18, 2025 – A special court in Mumbai today framed charges against former Maharashtra Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik in a money laundering case with ties to fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his associates. Malik entered a plea of not guilty, moving the case forward to trial.

The charges, filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), stem from an FIR initially lodged by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against Ibrahim, a designated global terrorist implicated in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) subsequently arrested Malik in February 2022 in connection with the case.

Malik, along with firms run by his family members, are accused in the case.

While currently out on medical bail granted by the Supreme Court, Malik will now face trial along with other accused parties. The case has drawn significant attention due to the alleged links to organized crime and terrorism financing.
