AAP Seeks Probe Into 58 GST Registrations at Office Address
The Aam Aadmi Party says 58 businesses used its office address when registering for tax.
The address is at 1, Canning Lane in New Delhi.
The registrations were made between July 19 and September 15.
AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj says this may have been part of a plan to make the party look involved with illegal companies and drug money.
He says businesses normally need documents and identity checks to register.
He believes officials should have questioned the address because it is a government-allotted residence.
AAP says it complained to tax officials and the police on September 19.
The party says it has not received a response.
AAP alleges 58 businesses were registered at its national office address in New Delhi.
The registrations were reportedly made between July 19 and September 15 at 1, Canning Lane.
Saurabh Bharadwaj said the registrations could support claims that AAP operated shell companies and received drug-trafficking funds.
He questioned how businesses could use a government-allotted residence for GST registration and verification.
AAP says it filed complaints on September 19 but received no response.
