On Tuesday, Gurinder Singh Dhillon, the spiritual leader of Radha Soami Satsang Beas, paid a visit to Bikram Singh Majithia, a prominent figure in the Shiromani Akali Dal, at New Nabha jail. Sources report that the brief meeting lasted 30 minutes, though the specifics of their conversation remain undisclosed.
Majithia, a former Punjab minister, is currently in judicial custody following his arrest related to a disproportionate assets case. The case is intertwined with allegations of laundering more than Rs 540 crore, believed to be associated with drug money, a charge Majithia is challenging in court.
The Vigilance Bureau, responsible for the arrest in June, has linked Majithia to the 2021 drug case investigation conducted by Punjab Police. Ahead of Dhillon's visit, security was notably intensified around the jail premises, highlighting the sensitive nature of the meeting.
