According to the information so far, action has been taken against Bikram Majithia based on the report by the Special Task Force (STF),  prepared in 2018 under the leadership of ADGP Harpreet Sidhu. 


Regarding this whole matter, Shiromani Akali Dal leader Virsa Singh Valtoha said that Majithia has been deliberately trapped by the Punjab government as CM Channi has no issue. 

Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu took to Twitter to announce the development. In a series of tweets, Sidhu said, “After 5.5 Years of the fight against Corrupt System run by Badal Family & Captain and delay of 4 years without action taken on ED & STF Report against Majithia. Finally now, after pushing for credible officers in positions of power and influence first step has been taken!” 

“An FIR has been registered in Punjab Police Crime Branch against the main culprits of Drug Trade on basis of February 2018 STF report, wherein I demanded this 4 years ago - It is a slap on the face of all those powerful who slept for years on issues at the heart of Punjab’s soul,” he further wrote.
