Overview

• Majithia is held at Nabha Jail under a judicial remand order through July 19 in a money laundering case linked to narcotics.
• The Punjab and Haryana High Court on July 8 allotted him three weeks to file a corrected bail petition in advance of the July 29 hearing.
• The FIR registered on June 25 under the Prevention of Corruption Act followed searches at 26 locations tied to Majithia’s properties.
• Preliminary investigations draw on a 2018 Special Task Force report and a 2021 NDPS probe to allege over ₹540 crore in laundered drug proceeds.
• In his amended petition Majithia will argue that the arrest and remand reflect political witch-hunting by the ruling AAP government.
