AAP Volunteers Action Manch (AVAM) on Thursday lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India against the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) following allegations of a 'funding scam'.

"We do not believe in indulging in mudslinging. We level allegations based on substantial evidences. We have been assured of necessary action by the Election Commission as early as possible," Karn Kumar of the AVAM told the media here.

He also informed that the AVAM would also move to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in the coming days.

AVAM alleged that AAP had last year received Rs. 50 lakhs through four bogus companies that were fronts for money-laundering.

 

On this, the AAP has demanded a Supreme Court monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe funding of all the three major parties contesting the Delhi polls following the allegations of a 'funding scam' from the volunteer group.
