Amritsar, January 10

Rejoicing over SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia getting interim anticipatory bail in a drug case, his supporters on Monday distributed sweets. They assembled at his residence in Green Avenue in large numbers and raised pro-SAD slogans.

Party’s district president Gurpartap Singh Tikka said they had full faith in the Indian judiciary.

“The court after taking into account the facts of the case has given relaxation to Majithia. We are also thankful to the Almighty,” Tikka said.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday granted interim anticipatory bail to Bikram Singh Majithia while directing him to join investigations. He was booked under provisions of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act in Mohali on December 20. He had moved the High Court after a Mohali court dismissed his anticipatory bail.
