Mohali Court rejected the anticipatory bail application of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia. Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia who has been booked under the NDPS Act, moved a court in Mohali on December 23 for anticipatory bail. It is said that he would move to Punjab and Haryana High court for his bail and Vacation Bench could take up the case.
Earlier, the SAD had called the registration of FIR against Bikram Singh Majithia as ‘political vendetta’. The bail application was filed by Mr. Majithia’s counsel D.S. Sobti. On Monday, Mr. Majithia, 46, was booked under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act on the basis of a 2018 status report of probe into drug racket in the state.
The report was filed by anti-drug Special Task Force (STF) chief Harpreet Singh Sidhu in the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2018. Majithia had earlier denied all charges against him.
The Punjab police have been looking for Majithia to arrest him in this case.
A lookout circular, which prevents a person from leaving the country, had also been issued against the former Punjab Minister.
