Jalandhar, July 21 (IANS) After giving a miss on two earlier summons, Raninder Singh, the son of Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here on Thursday in connection with a Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) violation case.

Raninder, who had been summoned by the ED in connection with transfer of funds in banks in Switzerland and British Virgin Islands and creation of some trusts, was accompanied by Congress leader and lawyer Jaiveer Shergill.

"We will fully cooperate with the agencies. We are law-abiding citizens. We have full faith in the law. We will come out stronger," Raninder told media after appearing before ED officials.
