Hitting back at Bharatiya Janata Party's Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis, Nationalist Congress Party Minister Nawab Malik refuted allegations of 'mafia links' and accused the BJP leader of attempting to "make a mountain out of a molehill'".

Malik dismissed Fadnavis' sensational allegations that a Malik-linked company Solidus Investments Pvt Ltd (SIPL) had entered into a prime land deal in Goawala Compound, Kurla, at throwaway prices with two alleged associates of the absconder mafia don, Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar.
