ProbeMajithiain ~737-crlaundering case:PbVBtoED Jupinderjit Singh Tribune News Service Chandigarh, November 5 Bowling a “political googly” at the SAD and the BJP amid reports of their possible realliance, the AAP governmentled Punjab Vigilance Bureau has written to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), seeking the registration of a case and a probe into a Rs 736.96-crore money laundering case involving Akali leader and former minister Bikram Singh Majithia.

Majithia has already denied the allegations, claiming these will not stand trial in a court.
