Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) In December 2021, the Punjab Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Majithia under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The case alleges his involvement in a drug trafficking network operating within the state. In February 2022, Majithia surrendered before a Mohali court in the drug case registered against him in December 2021, and was remanded in judicial custody till 8 March. While his wife Ganieve contested from
Majitha constituency in the
2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election and won, Majithia instead contested from
Amritsar East, and lost. He was imprisoned in
Patiala Jail along with his rival Congress leader
Navjot Singh Sidhu against whom Majithia contested the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections. On 10 August 2022, the
Punjab and Haryana High Court granted bail to Majithia. The Punjab government later challenged this decision. Subsequently, the Supreme Court directed Majithia to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) for questioning in March 2025. Following the Supreme Court's directive, Majithia was summoned by the SIT on 17 March 2025. He appeared before the team in Patiala, where he was questioned for over seven hours regarding his alleged involvement in the drug trafficking case. On 18 March 2025, Majithia was called in for additional questioning by the SIT. The investigation has expanded to examine financial transactions linked to firms associated with him, with authorities scrutinising suspicious financial activities that may be connected to the drug trade.
Disproportionate assets charges He is facing serious corruption charges related to a disproportionate assets (DA) case. On 25 June 2025, he was arrested by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau in connection with a disproportionate assets case. In August 2025, the Vigilance Bureau filed a comprehensive 40,000-page chargesheet against Majithia in a Mohali court. The chargesheet cites over 200 witnesses and includes evidence of financial discrepancies and illicit wealth amassed during his tenure as a minister. The case alleges that Majithia laundered over ₹540 crore in drug money, funnelling illicit funds into his controlled companies and routing them through foreign entities. The funds were reportedly deposited in multiple bank accounts, with evidence of hawala transactions, mobile phones, and laptops seized during the investigation. ==Electoral performance ==
