New Delhi : The Congress on Sunday urged the Centre to investigate all the companies and ministers exposed by sacked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) rebel leader Kapil Mishra, adding that the Narendra Modi-led government should also gauge the issue underlining AAP accepting money from anti-national elements.
“Kapil Mishra has levied grave charges on Arvind Kejriwal and these accusations come under theMoney Laundering Act. Even Mr. Neel who was with Kapil Mishra had raised matching concerns earlier as well. The agencies know about all this, why has an FIR not lodged till now,” said Maken.

” Anand Sharma ji had before also raised a point that the AAP is accepting fund from separatists groups. We urge the Government should investigate the foreign funding of AAP. And find out which anti-national elements are funding AAP. If needed a special audit should take place. All the companies and name of ministers which he had mentioned should be brought under scrutiny,” he added.
Mishra earlier in the day alleged corruption in the AAP funding while stating that facts were concealed from the Income Tax department.
Mishra who is currently on a hunger strike to protest against corruption by AAP said, “For three continuous years, black money was converted into white and spent on foreign trips of AAP leaders. AAP did not inform about some of its fundings which it received from fake companies.”
Mishra further targeted Kejriwal and revealed that 16 shell companies added money worth crores in AAP’s bank accounts.
“These fake companies are registered in the name of AAP MLA from Moti Nagar, Shivcharan Goyal. These companies have given Rs 2 crore to Kejriwal at 12 a.m. The fund received from these companies were sent to same branch branch of Axis Bank where there were allegations of converting black money into white at the time of demonetisation,” he added.
AAP has its bank account at the Krishnanagar branch of Axis Bank and all the transactions happen from there.
Mishra also shared a bank cheque without a date which has already been encashed.
“I file case against Arvind Kejriwal in Central Bureau of Investigation on Monday in connection with conversion of black money to white,” the AAP leader said.
However, the press conference took a dramatic turn when Mishra openly threatened to drag Kejriwal ‘by the collar’ to Tihar jail and then promptly passed out and was carried to the hospital.
Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Sunday sent a summons notice to the political advisor of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Vaibhav Kumar in connection with water tanker scam.
Kumar will be interrogated by the ACB on May 17.
Last Thursday, Mishra made “serious allegations” against senior Delhi government functionaries in relation to the water tanker scam, which is alleged to have caused a loss of an estimated Rs.400 crore to the State exchequer, in a detailed statement to the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB).
Earlier, Mishra submitted documents related to the tanker scam to the ACB, while saying that he also apprised the agency about the misuse of the money by the Delhi government.
