Punjab Vigilance Bureau Seeks ED Probe into Bikram Singh Majithia Money Laundering Case
The Punjab Vigilance Bureau, under the AAP government, has requested the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to investigate a Rs 736.96-crore money laundering case involving Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia. The probe alleges an extensive financial network linked to unaccounted wealth, including proceeds from drug sales. Majithia denies the allegations, asserting they will not hold up in court. The move comes amid reports of a possible SAD-BJP re-alliance, highlighting political tensions as the ED operates under the BJP-led central government.
