The income tax department on Wednesday issued a notice to the Aam Aadmi Party over alleged money laundering allegations levelled against it by the volunteer group AVAM.
AAP Volunteers Action Manch (AVAM) had last week lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India against the Arvind Kejriwal-led party following allegations of a 'funding scam'.
The NGO had also moved the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Economic Offences Wing (EOW).
AVAM had alleged that AAP had last year received Rs. 50 lakhs through four bogus companies that were fronts for money-laundering.
On this, the AAP had demanded a Supreme Court monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe funding of all the three major parties including the BJP and Congress.
