ED summons Punjab minister in money laundering case

India Blooms News Service | | 22 Dec 2014, 12:18 pm
Chandigarh, Dec 22 (IBNS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued a summon notice to Punjab’s cabinet minister Bikram Singh Majithia in connection with a money laundering case, media reports said.

The agency summoned Majithia for questioning on December 26 in Jalandhar.

The ED is investigating the international money transaction link in the multi-crore drugs racket detected by the Punjab Police last year.

The minister’s name had surfaced after Jagdish Bhola, a man arrested near Delhi last year for drugs trade, claimed in court that it was being run under the minister’s patronage and the full knowledge of the state police.

Majithia is also the brother-in-law of Punjab’s deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal.
