Corruption and money laundering charges On November 6, 2023, the ED arrested Gajjan Majra from Amargarh during a public meeting with party workers in Malerkotla. He was taken into custody under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in a case involving alleged bank fraud worth approximately ₹40–41 crore. The case revolves around alleged misuse of loans obtained for purposes other than those stated. The loans, taken between 2011 and 2014 by Tara Corporation Limited (later renamed Malaudh Agro Ltd.) and associated entities, were allegedly diverted to other companies, including Tara Health Food Ltd. Approximately ₹3.12 crore was transferred to the MLA’s personal accounts, and about ₹33.99 crore to related firms.

On May 28, 2024, the Punjab and Haryana High Court upheld the lawfulness of Majra’s arrest and remand, affirming compliance with Section 19(1) of the PMLA. After nearly 11 months in custody, Majra was granted bail by the High Court on November 5, 2024.
