New Delhi, Feb 26 (IBNS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh's son-in-law Gurpal Singh for an alleged involvement in a bank scam by the Simbhaoli Sugars Pvt. Ltd. media reports said.

Gurpal is among 13 people who are booked for a loan fraud of Rs. 97.85 crore and a default of Rs. 110 crore to Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC).

While the bank declared a fraud of Rs. 97.85 crore, the actual loss had amounted to 109. 08 crore.
