Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday dismissed the bail plea of Shiromani Akali Dal leader and former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia in a disproportionate assets case.

Majithia was arrested by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau on June 25 for allegedly laundering Rs 540 crore of “drug money”.

Talking to the media, special public prosecutor Ferry Sofat said that keeping in view the seriousness of the matter, the court of Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya rejected Majithia’s bail plea.

Earlier, a Mohali court had rejected the bail plea of Majithia, who is currently lodged in New Nabha jail in Patiala. Majithia has called the case against him “political witch-hunting and vendetta” for being a vocal critic of the Punjab government.
