JALANDHAR: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has once again summoned Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh’s son Raninder Singh in an old Foreign Exchange Management Act (Fema) case after a gap of four years.
He has been asked to appear before the ED on October 27. Raninder had last appeared before the ED in this case on July 21, 2016. It is learned that at the time Raninder was asked about the alleged transactions to Switzerland for creation of a trust and a few subsidiaries in British Virgin Islands during Amarinder’s previous tenure as CM. He was questioned for around four hours then.
Recently, the ED had sought to inspect some fresh records filed by the I-T department in three cases of alleged tax evasion against the Punjab CM and his son. A lower court had allowed the ED’s application, but a sessions court restrained it from inspecting the records.
