After questioning his wife Pratibha recently, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is set to grill Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh's son Vikramaditya in connection with a money laundering case registered against his father and others.

Official sources said the Investigating Officer (IO) of the case will soon issue a fresh summon to Vikramaditya for questioning in the case after he skipped the earlier summons in this regard scheduled for September 1.

They said once he meets the IO, it is expected that Vikramaditya's statement will be recorded under the provisions of the Prevention of Money laundering Act (PMlA).

The agency had earlier recorded the statement of Singh's wife Pratibha in the same case last month.

ED also filed the first charge sheet in the case today at a court here involving the role of arrested lIC agent Anand Chauhan in the case.
