Day after AAP-solute win, I-T notice to party on Rs 2cr donation

February 11, 2015 11:12

A day after the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party registered a historic win by winning 67 seats in the 70-member Delhi assembly, the Income Tax department on Wednesday issued a notice to the party in connection with a row over donations received by it.

As per reports, the IT department has sought AAP's reply in connection with the case by February 16.

The IT notice to AAP was issued days after a breakaway volunteer group of the party -- AAP Volunteer Action Manch (AVAM) -- accused Kejriwal's party of receiving Rs 2 crore last year through four "dubious" companies.

However, AAP categorically rejected the allegations made by the group and challenged the Centre to order a probe by any central investigation agency including CBI into the matter. AVAM had claimed that the money was donated to the AAP on the midnight of April 15 last year.

Karan Singh and Gopal Goel of AVAM alleged that four donations worth Rs 50 lakh each were remitted to the account of the AAP from four different "dubious companies".
