PTC Web Desk: Senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia would be produced in the Mohali court on Tuesday as his vigilance remand ends today. The Punjab Vigilance Bureau is investigating Majithia in a disproportionate assets case, with raids and interrogations continuing across various locations, including Himachal Pradesh.
According to officials, the Vigilance Bureau took Majithia to Majitha yesterday for further investigation and evidence collection related to the case. The investigation team has been conducting multiple raids to gather documents and establish a link between assets and alleged illegal income.
In response, Majithia has approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court, challenging the legality of the remand granted by the Mohali court on June 26. He termed the FIR politically motivated and accused the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab Government of using the state machinery to harass opposition leaders who voice criticism.
Majithia stated in court documents that the government's intent is not justice, but vengeance against vocal critics. The matter has now reached a critical juncture as the court will hear further arguments related to his remand and ongoing investigation.
The Vigilance Bureau is expected to seek further custody or provide an update on its findings before the court during the next hearing.
