The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued summons to senior BJP leader and former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, along with his son Raninder Singh, in connection with an alleged Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) violation case.
According to officials, the father-son duo has been accused of being “beneficiaries” of certain foreign assets, including a Swiss bank account. The case is based on inputs and documents reportedly received from the French government in 2011, which contained information about foreign assets allegedly maintained and controlled through overseas business entities and trusts.
Captain Amarinder Singh has been asked to appear before the ED on February 12. However, sources indicate that he may not be able to attend as he has been admitted to a private hospital in Mohali for knee surgery. Raninder Singh has been directed to appear the following day. He confirmed receiving the summons and stated that both he and his father would fully cooperate with investigating agencies.
The matter gained fresh momentum after a September 2025 order by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which dismissed petitions filed by the duo seeking to restrain the ED from inspecting an Income Tax Department chargesheet. The Income Tax Department had earlier filed a prosecution complaint in 2016, alleging false statements and undisclosed foreign assets. The ED is currently examining the case under FEMA provisions.
