Maharashtra minister and National Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik is expected to be discharged from Mumbai's JJ Hospital on Monday, 28 February, and will be sent back to Enforcement Directorate's (ED) custody, the office of the politician told ANI.

Malik was admitted to the hospital on Friday afternoon, 25 February, two days after being rounded up by the ED for his alleged involvement in a money-laundering case against Dawood Ibrahim.

The NCP has been organising protests in Mumbai following the arrest of the minister, amidst the demands of Malik's resignation by the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).

Malik was arrested by the ED on Wednesday, 23 February, after being interrogated at their South Bombay office for close to five hours.

Post the interrogation, the ED produced him before the special court judge RN Rokade, who sent Malik to ED custody till March 3.
