Akali Dal Leader Bikram Singh Majithia Arrested in Disproportionate Assets Case After Raids at Amritsar Residence

The Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia during raids at his Amritsar residence on June 25, 2025.
These raids relate to a 2021 drug case in which Majithia was previously booked and granted bail in August 2022 amid ongoing investigations.
A 30-member Bureau team, led by SSP Lakhbir Singh, reportedly forced entry into Majithia's home, which his wife Ganieve Kaur described as unnotified and aggressive.
Majithia stated on social media that the Aam Aadmi Party government filed false cases and that he would not be intimidated despite repeated FIRs; SAD president Badal called this action political vendetta.
The arrest and raids have intensified political tensions, prompting protests by Akali supporters and criticism from various leaders, signaling ongoing disputes between SAD and the AAP government.
