Teams from the Punjab Vigilance Bureau conducted fresh raids at the office of senior Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia in Majitha and his residence in Amritsar’s Green Avenue here on Tuesday, as part of an ongoing investigation into a disproportionate assets case.

So far, the Vigilance Bureau has not issued an official statement regarding the exact reason behind the raids or the nature of the documents seized for investigation.

In view of the raids, Punjab Police have tightened security in the surrounding areas. Heavy police deployment has been made near Majithia’s Green Avenue house, with barricades set up several metres from the residence to prevent public movement.
