Probe Agency ED Summons Amarinder Singh, Son In Money Laundering Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned former Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and his son, Raninder Singh, for questioning related to a violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). This development comes as part of a broader investigation into alleged money laundering activities. The ED has been scrutinizing various individuals and entities for potential violations of financial regulations, and the Singh family has now come under its lens. Capt Amarinder Singh, who served as the Chief Minister of Punjab until his resignation in 2021, has previously denied any wrongdoing. The timing of the summons raises questions about political implications, especially in the context of ongoing electoral dynamics in Punjab. The agency is expected to delve into the financial transactions and overseas assets linked to the Singh family to determine the extent of any violations. This case highlights the ED's intensified efforts to combat money laundering and enforce compliance with financial laws, reflecting the government's ongoing commitment to uphold financial integrity in the country.
