A local court has issued fresh summons to Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh in a criminal complaint of 2016 that the income tax department has filed against him. Amarinder has been directed to make a personal appearance in court on September 18.

Income Tax department counsel Mohinder Nain said the case against Amarinder pertained to properties abroad that he allegedly owns and for concealment of income.

The department has claimed that Captain and his son, Raninder Singh, were owners of Marine Mansions in Dubai and several other properties in the United Kingdom. The father-son also allegedly carried out ‘undisclosed’ financial transactions through a bank account in HSBC Private Bank Geneva Switzerland and HSBC Financial Services Limited (Middle East), according to the department.

Previously, the Court had issued summons on April 24 for July 20 to the Patiala address of the CM. His personal assistant Vijay Kumar had received these then.
