A court in Mohali has dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia, who has been booked under the NDPS Act.

The former Punjab minister had moved the court for anticipatory bail on December 23. The bail application was filed by Majithia's counsel DS Sobti, who told reporters outside the court that the additional district and sessions judge has "dismissed the plea".
