Punjab and Haryana High Court asks Punjab government to respond to SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia’s anticipatory bail plea in a case linked to a Rs 540 crore drug money laundering investigation. Majithia claims the case is politically motivated.
A Mohali court has dismissed Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia’s bail plea in the disproportionate assets case linked to laundering of Rs 540 crore “drug money.” Prosecutor Ferry Sofat said the plea was rejected due to the ongoing probe and serious nature of offences.
Former minister Bikram Majithia has requested a solitary barrack citing security threats. The Mohali court has sought a response from the Punjab government.
Bikram Singh Majithia, leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal, challenges his arrest in a disproportionate assets case, claiming it is politically motivated. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has deferred the hearing to July 29, allowing Majithia’s lawyers time to amend their petition against alleged political witch-hunting and abuse of legal processes.
In the disproportionate assets case, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has asked the Advocate General to respond to Bikram Singh Majithia’s petition challenging his arrest and remand, but no interim relief was granted yet.
