Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Congress are among 50 entities that have received tax notices as part of the government's investigation into dubious companies involved in money laundering.
The notices went out on Monday, a day before the Delhi results that saw AAP winning a landslide victory and ending the BJP's winning streak since last year.
In the middle of the Delhi campaign, AAP was accused by a group of its former members of receiving Rs 2 crore in donations from bogus companies.
The government has said that it is investigating companies trying to convert illegal cash into legitimate money. "Initial investigation shows transactions are not genuine and there is substantial unaccounted income," the finance ministry said.
The questions for AAP in the tax notice include:
*Are there any other transactions between AAP and these companies?
*The companies and directors are not traceable at the addresses mentioned in documents, furnish the addresses.
*Receipts to the person who delivered the cheque?
AAP said it welcomed the investigation. The party had challenged the government to order an investigation by any central agency. "Arrest us if we have done anything wrong," Mr Kejriwal said.
