PANAJI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Goa President Amit Palekar who was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) along with three others said that he has joined the investigation.
“ED has told me to get some data, I cannot reveal the investigation, I think I have to be a responsible citizen. I have joined the Investigation, whatever they ask in will get it,” said Palekar.
“I will join the investigation again at 2.15. they are doing their job, I will do my job,” he added.
Ramrao Wagh who also joined the investigation said that he could not reveal anything.
“I cannot reveal anything, right now I don’t know,” he added.
Bhandari Samaj Leader Dattaprasad Naik refused to speak to the media about what was the investigation all about.
Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Amit Palekar, the Goa unit chief of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), along with other party leaders from the coastal state for questioning in a money-laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy.
The ED had earlier arrested AAP’s national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on March 21 in connection with the same case.
The agency alleges that the AAP utilized approximately Rs 45 crore of “proceeds of crime” in its Goa election campaign, sourced from the Rs 100 crore “bribe” that was pumped in by the “South Group” that allegedly involved Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha.
