Vigilance Arrests Close Aide of Bikram Majithia in Disproportionate Assets Case

November 30, 2025

Chandigarh: Former Punjab minister and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia’s troubles are increasing. After his arrest in a disproportionate assets case, the bureau has now arrested one of his close associates, Harpreet Singh Gulati. It is alleged that money laundering was done through Gulati, and the money was sent through liquor companies like Akash Spirits, UV Enterprises and AD Enterprises.

Properties purchased in Shimla and Delhi in Gulati’s name

According to sources, Majithia purchased properties in Shimla and Delhi in Gulati’s name. Meanwhile, the Vigilance Department has filed an application in the Mohali District Court seeking to declare Majithia’s brother-in-law, Gajpat Singh Grewal, as a fugitive. The hearing will be held on December 1.

Vigilance’s side – notices sent to several addresses

The vigilance petition states that notices were sent to several addresses of the accused, including his house in Sangrur, Basant Vihar and Defence Colony in Delhi. Vigilance had named him in the case a few days ago.

Now, a charge of criminal conspiracy has been added to the case. The accused was called for questioning but did not appear. Following this, a fresh summons has been issued.

Charges likely to be framed on December 10

The Punjab government had given permission to prosecute the case in a cabinet meeting last month. However, the charges have not been finalised yet. It is expected that charges will be framed during the hearing on December 10. Majithia’s lawyers will submit a reply to the Vigilance Department’s charge sheet (challan).

Bail decision expected anytime

Meanwhile, the hearing on Majithia’s bail plea has been completed, and the court may announce its decision at any time.
