He was produced before Special Court Judge RN Rokade on Thursday at the end of his initial remand. The court extended his custody till March 7 for further investigation in the case. The court said that keeping in view the fact that the accused was in the hospital from February 25 to 28 (during his previous ED custody) and new facts have also come to the fore during the investigation, the accused is being sent to further custody.
The ED case is based on the recent FIR registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against Dawood Ibrahim and others. The NIA had registered its criminal complaint under sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
