A sting operation, conducted by web portal Media Sarkar, alleged that several leaders of AAP, including party's candidate from R.K. Puram Assembly Constituency Shazia Ilmi and Kumar Vishwas, who were contacted for their help in recovery of money from individuals and getting land deals done, readily agreed to extend their support in return for donations in cash to AAP.
Ms. Ilmi had offered to withdraw her candidature from the Delhi Assembly elections after the sting operation.
AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal has dismissed the sting operation as a “conspiracy” against his party but said it will not compromise on the issue of corruption.
It said the web portal has refused to provide unedited raw footage to the party.
