February 2, 2026

In a major development, the Supreme Court granted bail to Bikram Majithia in a disproportionate assets case.

​​The Punjab government is expected to file its response regarding the bail application during the hearing. At the last hearing, the government had sought more time to file its reply. He has been in police custody since June 2025.

Two Arrests, Charge Sheet Filed

So far, two people have been arrested in the Bikram Singh Majithia case. Harpreet Singh Gulati was arrested on November 30. He was initially taken into custody and interrogated. Five days ago, an 11,000-page charge sheet was filed against Gulati. The charge sheet details the transactions between Majithia and Gulati.

Majithia in Jail Since June 25: Bikram Majithia, a three-time MLA, was arrested on June 25 after raids were conducted at his residence in Amritsar and 25 other locations in the early morning hours. The Vigilance team seized digital devices, property documents, and financial records during the raids.

Seven Days of Police Remand: On June 26, a Mohali court sent him to seven days of police remand, which was later extended by four days. He was then sent to judicial custody on July 6. He is currently lodged in Nabha jail. He spent Raksha Bandhan, Dussehra, and Diwali in jail.

40,000-Page Charge Sheet and 200 Witnesses: The Vigilance Bureau filed a detailed charge sheet on August 22, which includes over 40,000 pages of documentary evidence and statements from more than 200 witnesses. The case is linked to a 2013 ED investigation that uncovered a ₹6,000 crore synthetic drug racket.

Former DSP Jagdish Singh Named Him: The mastermind of the racket was former DSP Jagdish Singh Bhola, who named Majithia during questioning. Although the courts later dismissed the drug-related charges, the current case focuses on corruption and money laundering.
