Ashish Khetan , Sanjay Singh , Himmat Singh Shergill on Majithia
• Majithia helped and patronized drug peddlers , alleged Sanjay Singh and Ashish Khetan • Circulates copies of statements of drug trade accused given to ED • Claims Majithia visited Canada, US and Europe many times • Sanjay Singh trying to save him from being convicted in defamation case-SAD Chandigarh 30th March 2016: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday again targets Punjab Revenue Bikram Singh Majithia on the issue of drug trade and reiterated their allegations of helping and patronizing drug peddlers in the state. Circulating the copies of the statements of some of the accused including Jagdish Bhola, Jagjit Singh Chahal and Bittu Aulakh in Drug Trade, recorded by Enforcement Directorate ,AAP leaders Ashish Khetan and Sanjay Singh said though strong evidence came up several times against Majithia during the course of investigations in the multi crore drug racket but ED and Punjab Police have failed to act against him and take the case to its logical end. They also blamed Captain Amarinder Singh of conniving with Badals and Majithia even on the issue of Drug trade by opposing the demand of CBI probe of the drug trade. On the other hand , SAD today totally rejected the allegations of AAP leaders against Bikram Majithia saying all these a bundle of lies . Dr Daljit Singh Cheema , Maheshinder Singh Grewal and Manjit Singh Sirsa , talking to media persons said that all the allegations are false and baseless and proof of bankruptcy of AAP leaders. They also clarified that Majithia had never visited abroad during last 10 years to the countries mentioned by AAP leaders. It may also be recalled that almost all the facts about the ED records , referred by AAP leaders have already been published in pieces in the print media. Even Bikram Singh Majithia had filed defamation cases against a section of media on these reports reportedly leaked by the ED officials.The issue is already pending in Punjab and Haryana High court. The AAP leaders alleged that both Badal and Modi Governments are shielding Majithia. They threatened to put Bikram behind bars if they come to power in Punjab in 2017 polls. AAP also questioned why Majithia's properties have not been attached while the ED and Punjab Police have more substantial evidence against him than 104 similar cases involved in the drug smuggling. Addressing a press conference here today, Ashish Khetan accompanied by Sanjay Singh, Himmat Singh Shergill, Aman Arora, CD Kamboj & RR Bhardwaj also alleged that the ED documents showed how Majithia provided patronage and protection to several international drug smugglers who used his (Majithia)’s residence in Amritsar. " From now onwards the countdown begins for Majithia to go to jail", said Khetan adding that only an honest government like that of AAP can probe the drug smuggling racket in Punjab with utmost sincerity and take on high and mighty involved in the same. They said Punjab police obliterated evidence linking the arrested drug smugglers with the revenue minister who is also the brother-in-law of Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal. Majithia’s mention was omitted from the statements of the drug smugglers recorded by Punjab Police, said Khetan while adding that the same smugglers narrated Majithia’s role in detail while recording their statements before ED. They said that accused have told ED that Majthia was also running liquor distilleries and sand mining business in benami names. One interesting revelation they made that Majithia has made multiple trips to Canada, US and Europe over the last ten years. they also alleged that rented an apartment in Canada. At least three smugglers linked to Majithia were based out of Canada, alleged Khetan. Aam Aadmi Party released copies of the six statements of three drug smugglers recorded on different dates by ED under section 25 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. ED reports to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Majithia was the chief organizer of Jaitley’s election campaign during 2014 Lok Sabha polls in Amritsar. AAP leaders said that the ED probe officer was transferred 20 days after he summoned Majithia to investigate his role in drug trade to slow down the probe. The transfer was subsequently stayed by the Punjab & Haryana High Court. They said that since March 2014, ED has filed four charge sheets against 50 odd drug smugglers. But there is pressure not to charge Majithia and soft peddle the whole probe. The drug racket operating in the state of Punjab and having national and international ramifications was first busted when multiple FIRs under NDPS, IPC and Arms Act were registered by the Punjab Police in the year 2013 and 2014. Consequent to that, the Enforcement Directorate also registered its case Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) No. 02/JLZO/2013 dated 25-03-2013 under the provisions of PMLA, 2002 incorporating all the FIRs connected with the case. As on date, 8 FIRs have been included in the above said case ECIR for the purpose of investigation under the provisions of PMLA. In these 8 FIRs registered by the police, the Punjab police has charge sheeted 104 accused persons which are pending trial. During investigation, statements of a number of accused persons as well as witnesses have been recorded and several documents from different agencies / authorities have also been collected. The investigation has revealed the names of a number of associates (including NRIs) of the accused who appear to be involved in the offence of money laundering arising from the proceeds of crime generated from the crime of drugs trafficking. The total number of accused and associates in the case registered with ED is exceeding more than 120 now. The investigation conducted so far has revealed that a variety of drugs and narcotics like Heroin, Methaphatamine (Ice drug), Pseudoephedrine and related chemicals have been recovered by the Police from the possession of accused persons. The sale of said Narcotics Drugs by the accused and the associates inside and outside the country has resulted in generation of substantial proceeds of crime which has invariably been parked in movable and immovable assets. ED has told the court that the accused and their associates have generated thousands of crores of rupees in cash from the drug crime and the same has been invariably routed into movable/immovable properties. Amarinder also attacked Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh criticised Punjab Congress Chief Captain Amarinder Singh for going out of his way to defend Bikram Majithia and vehemently opposing the CBI probe against the Punjab revenue minister for his drug smuggling links. " Till date Amarinder is sitting quiet on the involvement of Maithia in the multi crore drug racket. Amarinder has admitted in a public function his close family ties with Majithia who calls him uncle since his childhood", said Sanjay Singh adding that it showed collusion between Akalis and Congress leaders was complete on drug smuggling in Punjab. Sanjay Singh said the Modi government at the centre and Punjab government led by Parkash Singh Badal were together trying to protect Majithia and thats why both ED and Punjab Police have failed to make any significant headway in the multi crore drug racket in the state. =====================
