Salim Patel is gangster Dawood Ibrahim's aide and was the driver of Haseena Parkar (Dawood's sister). Did you not know who Salim Patel is? Why did you buy land from convicts? And why did they sell a three-acre plot on LBS road for Rs 30 lakh," he asked. "My question is when this deal happened you were a minister. Only Rs 20 lakh were paid," Mr Fadnavis alleged. This plot was bought from underworld people for Rs 30 lakh. He was also in the company but he resigned after he became a minister. This company is related to Nawab Malik's family. "In Kurla a 2.80 acre plot is called Goawala compound on LBS Road.This plot has registry with Solidus Investments Private Limited. Mr Fadnavis's charge is that Nawab Malik had struck a property deal with an underworld person who was convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts. And this is not a picture of the interval," the BJP leader began. "I had said I will expose somethings after Diwali. Reiterating his earlier charge that Mr Malik has underworld links, the BJP leader, addressing a press conference, presented what he calls "proof" of the connection. In a tit-for-tat move, Nawab Malik promised to drop a truth bomb of his own and expose Devendra Fadnavis's alleged links with the underworld.
