Ludhiana Court summons Punjab CM Capt Amarinder Singh in IT case

The IT department had filed a chargesheet against Singh in connection with its probe against him and his son in a case of alleged untaxed foreign assets.

According to the complaint, the I-T department said during its investigations Singh was "found to be the beneficiary" of a trust and other properties owned and created by his son Raninder in a foreign territory and when questioned about these, the Congress chief ministerial candidate for the state gave a "false statement on oath" about the ownership of these assets.

The case came to light when the Income Tax department received information about Raninder allegedly holding the offshore account in Switzerland as part of details received by the Central Board of Direct Taxes from its French counterparts in 2011.
