The Punjab Vigilance Bureau has submitted its final chargesheet in the disproportionate assets case against senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader and former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia before a special court in Mohali. The latest filing, reported on October 28, 2026, forms part of an extensive investigation into his alleged financial dealings and assets.
According to reports, the case involves a substantial volume of documentary evidence, including financial transactions, bank accounts, property records and business-related documents. The total number of pages submitted in the case, including earlier filings and supporting material, has reportedly reached approximately 52,000 to 53,000. The chargesheet names 13 accused, while certain companies have also reportedly been included in the proceedings.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that ₹736 crore linked to suspected drug proceeds was routed through bank accounts of companies associated with Majithia. The party has also accused him of having links with international drug traffickers. These claims must be understood as allegations arising from the investigation and political statements; they have not been established as proven facts by a court. The ₹736-crore figure has also been reported in connection with the assets and financial transactions under scrutiny, so it should not automatically be treated as a judicially established amount of drug money.
The case follows an FIR registered by the Vigilance Bureau on June 25, 2025, under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Investigators have examined financial activities and assets allegedly linked to Majithia and his associates. He has denied the allegations through his legal defence, which has challenged the prosecution’s case. The legal proceedings will determine the evidentiary value of the material submitted by the agency.
The development has also triggered a fresh political confrontation. AAP leaders have targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that the BJP’s approach to Punjab’s drug problem is contradictory in view of the allegations against Majithia. In a further political attack, the party alleged that Shah wanted to facilitate the sale in Punjab of drugs brought from Gujarat, with Majithia’s assistance. No evidence establishing this allegation against Shah was identified in the reports reviewed; it remains a political accusation rather than a finding of the Vigilance Bureau.
The chargesheet marks a significant step in the financial investigation, but filing a chargesheet does not amount to a conviction. The allegations against Majithia and the other accused will have to be tested in court, where the prosecution’s evidence and the defence’s arguments will be considered in accordance with law.
