The Chandiwal Commission, probing the corruption allegations against former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, on Tuesday asked state cabinet minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik to appear before it on Thursday.

The commission summoned Malik after dismissed Mumbai Police officer Sachin Waze submitted a pursis- a written statement /information given to the court about any matter pending before it- along with a news article which purportedly quoted Malik as stating that Param Bir Singh and Waze were behind the 'Antilia' bomb scare (episode).
