The Special Investigation Team investigating the multi-crore drug trafficking case of Punjab has issued fresh summons to the senior leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal, Bikram Singh Majithia.

Majithia has been ordered to appear for questioning at Patiala on July 18. Earlier, the investigation team had withdrawn the previously issued summons, with which the petition filed by Majithia against the summons in the Punjab and Haryana High Court became ineffective.

IGHS of Patiala range in charge of the seat investigating the case. Bhullar said that soon a new summon will be sent to Bikram Singh Majithia.

He had said that Majithia is an important link for the complete investigation in the drug case worth crores of rupees, from whom it is mandatory to be interrogated, so that some facts left in the investigation can be clarified. At the same time, the Akali Dal has described it as a politically motivated case.
