Nawab Malik's son-in-law Sameer Khan was arrested in a drug-related case early this year and is now out on bail.

Malik said his daughter will send a legal notice to Fadnavis on Wednesday for his comments against his son-in-law Sameer Khan, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) earlier this year and later released on bail.

The BJP leader claimed he did not have this information earlier (when he was the state's chief minister). The BJP leader said had he found this previously, he would have exposed NCP leader Malik earlier.

Earlier on Monday, former Maharashtra CM and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis said that he will soon present evidence of Malik's relations with the underworld.

Devendra Fadnavis' remark came amid Nawab Malik’s unabated attack on the NCB over the drugs-on-cruise case involving Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan.

For the past several days, Nawab Malik has been targeting NCB officer Sameer Wankhede, who had led a raid on a cruise ship in Mumbai earlier this month during which drugs were recovered.

The Supreme Court earlier this year quashed quota for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in local bodies after observing that the total number of seats earmarked for various communities.

Briefing mediapersons, Fadnavis said, "There are no ifs and buts in politics. Decisions are taken according to the prevailing circumstances. There might be some differences with Shiv Sena but we are not enemies."

Addressing BJP workers during a protest held at Variety Square chowk as part of the party's 'chakka jam' (block the traffic) agitation for the restoration of OBC quota, the Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly alleged the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government was misleading the people by saying that it will raise this issue in Parliament.
