Chandigarh, December 30

Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Thursday applied for bail before the court of additional sessions judge, Mohali.

Lawyers DS Sobti and HS Dhanoa are representing Majithia.

Majithia in his bail plea said the ruling Congress in the state was indulging in witch-hunting.

Praying for bail, he pleaded that the Congress had booked him in a false case to use it as an election plank.

The hearing is listed post lunch.

A lookout notice for Majithia was issued on Wednesday.

Majithia was booked in a case under the NDPS Act.
