Vigilance raids Majithia's office again; Amritsar property also under scanner

Chandigarh, July 15 (UNI) In a fresh crackdown under Punjab’s anti-corruption campaign, the Vigilance Bureau today conducted another raid at the Majitha-based office of senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia. The team carried out a detailed measurement of the entire office building.
Simultaneously, vigilance teams also inspected a property linked to Majithia and his family at Green Avenue in Amritsar. Both raids are reportedly part of an ongoing probe into assets allegedly linked to the former minister, who is currently in judicial custody at Nabha jail till July 19.
Sources confirmed that the exercise focused on verifying property records and ownership details, believed to be associated with Majithia’s family. During the nearly three-hour-long search operation, officials also recovered a mobile phone and a DVR from the premises, but no incriminating material was reportedly found.
