Punjab Politics Heats Up As Akali Leader Bikram Majithia Arrested For Laundering ₹540 Cr Drug Money

Punjab Vigilance Bureau in a statement said the SIT investigation has found that Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majitha was allegedly involved in laundering Rs 540 crore “drug money”. According to preliminary findings, over Rs 540 crore in illicit funds were laundered through various channels, including Rs 161 crore in unaccounted cash deposits into bank accounts of companies controlled by Majithia, Rs 141 crore routed through suspected foreign entities, and Rs 236 crore in unexplained deposits that do not reflect in official financial statements. Earlier in the day, a Vigilance Bureau team carried out an unannounced search at the house of Majithia in Amritsar before arresting him. Tension escalated when Ganieve Kaur, Majithia’s wife and a sitting MLA, confronted the officials, accusing them of forcibly entering the premises.#bikramsinghmajithia #punjabvigilancebureau #drugmoney #sadleader #majithiaarrest #punjabpolitics #moneylaundering #ganievekaur #amritsar #drugscandal #vigilanceraid #akalidal #drugtrafficking #corruption #indianpolitics #crimeindia #latestnews #punjabgovernment #sitinvestigation #punjab #punjabnews #congress #bjp #aap #indianews #politics #breakingnews #india #toi #toibharat
