Chandigarh, October 28 (Gurwinder Singh): The Punjab Vigilance Bureau has reportedly filed a supplementary chargesheet comprising approximately 40,000 pages against senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia in the alleged drug money case.
According to an official spokesperson, the investigation has uncovered financial transactions worth approximately ₹736.96 crore linked to the case. These include ₹161 crore in unaccounted cash deposits, ₹141 crore allegedly routed through suspicious foreign entities, and ₹236 crore in undeclared funds deposited in company accounts. The spokesperson also stated that the first chargesheet filed earlier had referred to assets worth ₹540 crore.
The spokesperson said the investigation has focused on Majithia’s financial network, transactions involving liquor companies, and his alleged links with international drug traffickers. Questions have also been raised in connection with earlier case records concerning his alleged associations with Satpreet Singh, alias ‘Satta’, and Parminder Singh, alias ‘Pindi’. These allegations include claims that Majithia had travelled with them in his vehicle during his tenure as a minister.
The official spokesperson further stated that the investigation examined financial transactions involving companies linked to Majithia, with particular attention to Saraya Industries.
