• Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons BJP leader and former Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh and son Raninder Singh in a 2016 FEMA violation case.
• Accusations involve foreign assets, including Swiss bank accounts and a trust in the British Virgin Islands, with Raninder Singh named as beneficiary.
• Amarinder Singh, 83, is unlikely to appear on February 12 due to recent knee replacement surgery; Raninder Singh is called on February 13.
• Raninder Singh stated on X that they will fully cooperate with investigating agencies, expressing faith in the rule of law.
• The case originated from an Income Tax Department charge sheet in 2016, reactivated after a 2025 High Court decision upheld the use of 'secret' information.
