Grewal also pointed out that Majithia had earlier been granted bail by the High Court in the NDPS case registered by the previous Congress government, which found no recovery of drug money, no proven transaction, and no exchange of funds.Grewal added that the public prosecutor had confirmed on Wednesday that only a disproportionate assets case had been registered against Majithia.“Even this is fabricated. The properties mentioned in the complaint have belonged to the Majithia family since before Bikram Majithia was born. The Majithia family is an old landed family, his grandfather owned planes and even a Rolls Royce. It has also been wrongly imputed that Bikram Majithia was responsible for decision-making in Saraya Industries, whereas he resigned as a Director of the company in 2007,” he said.Dr Daljit Singh Cheema stated that all the allegations mentioned in the new case had already been submitted before the Supreme Court recently during a petition to cancel Majithia’s bail in the NDPS case. “The Supreme Court did not take cognisance of the allegations, and now they have been recycled and turned into a new case,” he said.Cheema also criticised the AAP government for creating a curfew-like situation at the Mohali court where Majithia was presented, which he claimed caused harassment to litigants.Veteran SAD leader Balwinder Singh Bhundar said the action reminded people of the Emergency era and termed it a “murder of democracy”. He alleged that the AAP government had been attempting to implicate Majithia in a false case for over three years, forming multiple SITs and even suspending officers to pressure them into illegal actions. He also thanked the opposition parties for showing solidarity with Majithia and raising their voice against what he described as “revengeful action”.
