A day after his son-in-law Sameer Khan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Maharashtra's Minority Affairs Minister and NCP chief spokesperson Nawab Malik said that “no one is above law”
“Nobody is above the law and it should be applied without any discrimination. Law will take its due course and justice will prevail. I respect and have immense faith in our judiciary, Malik tweeted.
Malik’s daughter Nilofar is married to Bandra resident Sameer Khan, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday night after day-long grilling.
Khan was produced before a Magistrate’s court, which remanded him in NCB’s custody till January 18.
Coming to Malik’s defence, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said: “There are no personal allegations against Nawab Malik. The person convered ( Malik’s son-in-law) must cooperate with the concerned agency”.
Sasmeer’s arrest came a day after it arrested Ramkumar Tiwari, one of the brothers who own ''Muchhad Paanwala'' shop at Kemps corner in south Mumbai, in connection of cannabis-related drugs.
