PATIALA: SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Monday appeared before the special investigation team (SIT) in
Patiala
which is probing a drugs case registered against him in December 2021. He was questioned for around eight hours.
The SIT claimed to have uncovered suspicious financial transactions related to Bikram Singh Majithia and his family’s firms. The SIT is probing the financial transactions of the four accused, including Majithia. The three other accused are currently abroad, including in Canada and the USA; however, efforts were being made by the police for their extradition and issuing a blue corner notice.
“During the period (
Bhola drug case
) in question, a significant amount of cash was deposited in these firms, and transactions occurred with foreign companies. SIT has questioned these transactions, cash deposits, and sudden increase in assets and financial resources. Majithia has been summoned again for questioning. All financial transactions, both domestic and international, are being thoroughly investigated, and every effort is being made to bring the remaining accused from abroad back to India,” said SIT member Varun Sharma, adding that Majithia will be questioned on Tuesday again.
