From IT to ED, why is Raninder Singh facing forex cases?

By Anand Singh New Delhi, Oct 27 : Even as Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s son Raninder Singh, who is also the President of the National Rifle Association of India, has been asked to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on November 6 in connection with a probe into the latter’s involvement in alleged forex contraventions and for holding untaxed foreign assets, his troubles do not end here as he is also being probed by the Income Tax (I-T) authorities.
On October 23, Raninder Singh was summoned to appear at the ED office in Jalandhar on Tuesday. However, he skipped the ED summon after writing through his lawyer seeking shifting of the questioning date.
Speaking to IANS, Raninder Singh’s counsel Jaiveer Shergill said, “My client has sought an adjournment as he is required to be present before a Parliamentary standing committee for a hearing with regard to the 2021 Olympic Games.” Shergill said that Raninder Singh has also sought details from the ED about the case in relation to which he has been summoned, as the summon is “vague”.
According to ED officials, Raninder Singh has now been asked to appear before the financial probe agency on November 6.
Earlier this year, the ED had filed an application in a Ludhiana court for the inspection of new documents filed by the I-T department in the cases against the Punjab Chief Minister and his son.
