Overview

  • The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted a four-hour search at AAP leader Durgesh Pathak's Delhi residence, citing alleged violations of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).
  • No incriminating evidence was found during the raid, though photocopies of Aadhaar cards were taken by CBI officials.
  • The action follows Pathak's recent appointment as co-incharge for AAP's Gujarat campaign for the 2027 Assembly elections, a move AAP claims has unsettled the BJP.
  • AAP leaders, including Atishi and Manish Sisodia, have denounced the raid as an attempt to intimidate the party amidst its growing presence in Gujarat.
  • BJP leaders have accused AAP of using dubious foreign funding channels, demanding transparency and legal accountability from the party.
