Sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra on Sunday alleged corruption in the Aam Aadmi Party (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 findings 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 the same branch of Axis Bank where there were allegations of converting black money into white at the time of demonetization,' 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 the case against Arvind Kejriwal in Central Bureau of Investigation on Monday in connection with the 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? 400 crores 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.
