Patiala, January 11
The fourth Special Investigation Team (SIT), formed to probe charges of drugs smuggling against former SAD minister Bikram Majithia, has summoned the leader on January 16.
The Patiala Range DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar-led new SIT, which was formed on January 1, asked Majithia to appear for further questioning at Patiala Police Lines. Bhullar heads the three-member SIT with Patiala SSP Varun Sharma and Dhuri SP Yogesh Sharma as its members.
The need to reconstitute the SIT arose following the retirement of Patiala ADGP MS Chhina on December 30. Earlier, the SIT had summoned Majithia on December 18.
Majithia was booked in December 2021 on the basis of a 2018 report submitted by anti-drug STF head Harpreet Singh Sidhu.
