Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) President Captain Amarinder Singh’s son, Raninder Singh, again failed to turn up to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office on Thursday and Rio Olympics game was the reason cited by him for not appearing before ED.

Raninder sought the exemption from appearing in ED office on the pretext that since he was president of National Rifles Association of India and due to his engagement in the Rio 2016 Olympics he was unable to come, said sources.
