# Punjab VB files 40,000-page supplementary chargesheet against Bikram Majithia 2026-10-28T10:59:10+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The Punjab Vigilance Bureau on Wednesday, 28 October, filed a supplementary chargesheet of around 40,000 pages against Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia and others in a disproportionate assets case. New Indian Express reports that the chargesheet alleges a Rs 736.96-crore drug-money trail, including Rs 161 crore in unaccounted cash deposits and Rs 141 crore routed through foreign entities. Hindustan Times puts the case’s earlier DA estimate at Rs 719 crore, while Indian Express flags Rs 538 crore in flagged transactions. The chargesheet, submitted to a Mohali court, names associates including Gajpat Singh Grewal and Harpreet Gulati, and examines transactions involving Saraya Industries. The case stems from a June 2025 FIR linked to a 2021 drug probe. Majithia dismissed the charges as a ‘bundle of lies’, saying he maintains full faith in the judiciary. The allegations remain subject to judicial scrutiny. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The three outlets all report the same event with neutral, fact-based language, agreeing on the key figure of a 40,000-page supplementary chargesheet. Hindustan Times and New Indian Express frame the earlier DA estimate differently (Rs 719 crore vs Rs 736.96 crore), while Indian Express leads with the specific Rs 538 crore breakdown of three transaction categories. All carry Majithia’s denial and AAP’s statement without editorial spin. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with minor figure variations. The chargesheet’s allegations remain untested in court, judicial scrutiny is the next concrete step. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Leads with 53,000-pages, notes DA estimate revision from Rs 540 crore to Rs 719 crore - newindianexpress.com (neutral report) Leads with Rs 736.96 crore drug money trail, break down transactions - indianexpress.com (neutral report) Leads with Rs 538 crore flagged in second chargesheet, details transaction categories This brief was synthesised by AI from the 3 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
