Ludhiana, March 9

PPCC chief Capt Amarinder Singh’s son Raninder Singh has been summoned by a court in a complaint moved by the Income Tax Department on the charge of willfully attempting to evade taxes and penalties. The court of CJM Jaapinder Singh has ordered to summon him under Section 276C of the Income Tax Act on June 6.

Raninder is already facing a complaint filed by the Department in the same court on almost similar allegations. He was summoned in that case on March 19 last year and had furnished bail bonds on October 25, 2016.

The department has alleged that he attempted to evade taxes and penalties. It has been alleged that Raninder made investments which were unaccounted and unexplained. “In an attempt to park his undisclosed income in foreign bank accounts and properties, a web of entities was created through which properties were purchased in Dubai, UAE and London.”

Meetings were recorded in the documents, from which it was clear that these meetings were held by the accused along with his father Amarinder Singh and father-in-law Kuldeep Dhingra, says the complaint.
