Majithia Custody Extended: Drug Money Laundering Probe Deepens
A Punjab court on August 2, 2025, extended the judicial custody of Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia until August 14. Majithia was arrested on June 25 in connection with a disproportionate assets case.
The ongoing investigation alleges Majithia’s involvement in laundering over Rs 540 crore linked to drug trafficking. This stems from a larger drug case investigation launched in 2021.
The court’s decision keeps Majithia behind bars as the probe continues. His continued detention underscores the seriousness of the allegations against him.
This development carries significant political weight in Punjab, impacting the state’s already turbulent political landscape ahead of potential future elections. The case’s trajectory will be closely watched by political observers and the public alike.
