Majithia Drug Case: A Familiar Story of Unfinished Justice?
The ongoing drug smuggling and money laundering case against Bikram Singh Majithia, involving alleged links to a Canada-based narcotics trafficker, has cast a long shadow over Punjab’s political landscape. The case, filed on August 26, 2025, reopens old wounds of alleged corruption within the state’s political establishment.
Past allegations of similar nature against several Punjab politicians have, unfortunately, yielded little in the way of convictions. Shifting political alliances and influences have often been cited as factors impacting investigations and the reliability of witness testimonies.
This pattern of stalled prosecutions raises serious concerns about accountability and the effectiveness of the state’s anti-corruption mechanisms. The outcome of Majithia’s case, therefore, holds significant weight, not just for him, but for the future of transparent governance in Punjab.
The uncertainty surrounding this case underscores the urgent need for institutional reforms to ensure impartial investigations and the timely prosecution of high-profile individuals accused of such serious crimes. The people of Punjab deserve justice, and this case serves as a stark reminder of the challenges in achieving it.
