Bikram Singh Majithia, a senior Akali leader, denied anticipatory bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court today.
Bikram Majithia, the Akali leader who is embroiled in a drug case, has suffered a major setback. Majithia's anticipatory bail application was denied by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The sword hangs over Majithia's filing of Vis election nominations as a result of this. Nominations for the Punjab elections will be accepted beginning tomorrow and will continue until February 1. If Majithia is discovered without bail, he will be arrested by the Punjab Police. It has become difficult for them in such a situation. However, Majithia's lawyers have requested that the High Court grant them time to file nominations and proceed to the Supreme Court. The situation will become clear following the court's detailed order on this.
Majithia is facing serious allegations.
In the drug case, Majithia has faced serious allegations. Satpreet Satta, a Canadian drug smuggler, was said to have remained in Majithia's Amritsar as well as in Chandigarh's Government Kothi. Majithia himself had given him the car and the gunman. Majithia has been accused of obtaining funds for elections from drug smugglers by pressuring them to obtain intoxicants and making compromises. The Akali Dal, on the other hand, insisted on calling it a political vendetta.
There's still to know that will he able to fight in the upcoming Punjab Elections 2022.

Sidhu is also a target, and Congress has made it an election issue.
The Punjab Congress chief has also been relentless in his attacks on Majithia. They claim that Majithia is the true perpetrator of drug trafficking in Punjab. Who brought synthetic drugs into the country and aided the drug mafia? Congress is also making the issue a campaign issue. The case filed against Majithia is being marketed by Congress as a triumph of its administration.
