Overview

• A Mohali court on July 7 sent Bikram Singh Majithia to 14 days of judicial custody in the case accusing him of laundering ₹540 crore of drug money under the Disproportionate Assets Act.
• The Punjab Vigilance Bureau informed the court that investigations during his 12-day remand are complete and may seek up to three additional days of custody if new evidence emerges.
• Majithia’s legal team has challenged the case as a political vendetta and will present arguments at the ab and HaryHaryana High Court on July 8.
• The probe traces back to a 2021 NDPS Act drug case investigated by a Punjab Police SIT and a 2018 Special Task Force report alleging his links to narcotics trafficking.
• Investigators have expanded asset searches beyond Punjab to include properties and corporate records in multiple states, notably a distillery in Uttar Pradesh.
