The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) tore into BJP for blocking Punjab Police raids in Delhi after Delhi Police refused to cooperate with Punjab Police in conducting raids linked to a high-profile drug money case in the national capital. With Punjab Police stationed since morning at two key locations in Delhi, the raids have been stalled—under political pressure from the BJP-led Central Government.
AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj questioned whether a secret deal had been struck between the BJP and drug money accused Vikram Majithia. “Is this why the BJP government is sabotaging efforts to crack down on the drug trade by denying Punjab Police the support they need?” he asked. Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Atishi echoed the charge, stating, “The BJP is now protecting Majithia in the drug money case. In return, Majithia is expected to join the BJP.”
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj stated, “We all know that under the leadership of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, a sustained and major crackdown is underway against drug abuse and those engaged in the drug trade. For years, former Punjab Minister Vikramjit Singh Majithia’s name has been repeatedly linked with the drug business in Punjab. Just a few days ago, Majithia was arrested by the Punjab Vigilance Department in connection with a drug-related case.”
He added, “As part of this investigation, the Punjab Police and Vigilance Department are today conducting raids in several states across the country.”
Saurabh Bharadwaj further said, “It is with great regret that I share with you all that the Punjab Police and Vigilance Department have been seeking to conduct raids at multiple locations in Delhi since this morning. However, the Delhi Police, which reports directly to the BJP-led Central Government, is refusing to cooperate with the Punjab Police and Vigilance Department in executing these raids.”
He stated, “It appears deliberate efforts are being made to obstruct these raids in Delhi, potentially allowing other culprits involved in the drug racket to destroy evidence and evade arrest.”
Appealing to the Central Government, Saurabh Bharadwaj said, “Drug addiction is a serious issue that is destroying our future generations and ruining our youth. On such a sensitive issue, the Central Government must rise above politics and extend full cooperation to state governments.”
Saurabh Bharadwaj posted on X: “Since this morning, Punjab Police has been present at two key locations in Delhi to conduct raids, but Delhi Police, under the BJP government, is not allowing them. Has there been a deal between the BJP and drug money case accused Vikramjit Majithia?”
Meanwhile, senior AAP leader and Delhi Assembly LoP Atishi took to ‘X’ and wrote: “Has a deal been struck between BJP and Vikram Majithia, accused in the drug money case? Now BJP is saving Majithia from the drug money case, in return Majithia will join BJP. Since this morning, Punjab Police have been present to raid two important locations in Delhi. But BJP’s Delhi Police is not allowing the raid to happen. Why is the BJP protecting the accused in the drug money case?”
