Punjab Vigilance files supplementary charge sheet against Harpreet Gulati in Bikram Majithia-linked case

The Punjab Vigilance Bureau has filed a supplementary charge sheet in court against Harpreet Gulati, an associate of senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia, marking a significant development in an ongoing investigation linked to alleged financial irregularities.

According to vigilance officials, the supplementary challan runs into more than 11,000 pages and details financial transactions between Majithia and Gulati over a period spanning from 2008 to 2017. The documents reportedly include records of multiple transactions conducted through various bank accounts.

The vigilance bureau has claimed that transactions exceeding Rs. 10 crore surfaced during the investigation. Officials allege that Gulati failed to provide satisfactory explanations regarding the source and nature of these funds during questioning.

The charge sheet also states that properties, including a bungalow in Delhi linked to Bikram Majithia and assets in Himachal Pradesh, were allegedly acquired using the same funds under scrutiny. The agency says these claims are supported by documentary evidence submitted to the court.

The court is expected to examine the supplementary charge sheet during the next hearing, after which further legal proceedings in the case will be decided.
