HC rejects plea seeking CBI probe against AAP over foreign funding

The Delhi High Court today dismissed a plea seeking CBI probe into past and present funding of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the alleged violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Rajiv Sahai Endlaw said that the petitioner approached the investigator and it is not that the agency has declined to entertain his complaint.<br/><br/>Earlier, the Ministry of Home Affairs had informed the bench that nothing was found against AAP in its probe regarding allegations that it had received offshore funds in violation of FCRA provisions. AAP had termed the allegations as baseless while contending that the party had not flouted any law in receiving foreign funds and got donations worth Rs 30 crore from Indian citizens only, of which about Rs 8.5 crore had come from NRIs.
