The ED made this claim while seeking the 62-year-old Nationalist Congres Party leader's custody for interrogation in the money laundering probe linked to the activities of Ibrahim and his aides.

'In this assembly election, Muslims here will vote for one who works, but also one who safeguards their identity.' 'Their existence is more important they feel, than a faulty light meter. So yes, a Muslim representative will make a difference.'

The court, in its order, said it appears from the report that accused has not cooperated with the investigation on the crucial aspect.
