Arvind Kejriwal Stuck in a New Dilemma, Accused of Receiving Rs 7-Crore Illegal Foreign Funding

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has written to the Union Home Ministry (MHA) alleging that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which governs Delhi and Punjab, received over Rs 7 crore in foreign funds, violating the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), official sources told news agency PTI on Monday. This communication follows the discovery of documents and emails during a money laundering probe linked to former Punjab AAP MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira. The federal agency's probe, launched in 2021, resulted in Khaira’s arrest the same year. Khaira is now affiliated with the Congress party. According to PTI, sources reveal that in August last year, the ED had sent a detailed report to the MHA highlighting alleged violations by AAP, categorising these as contraventions of the FCRA and The Representation of the People Act. Recently, the ED shared additional inputs with the MHA regarding the case.
