AAP funding controversy: AAP was accused of swindling money by a group of former members and supporters; they said that last year, at midnight on April 5, AAP received 50 lakhs through four bogus companies that were fronts for money-laundering. We can safely call it 'hawala at midnight'," said Shazia Ilmi, who quit AAP in May 2014 and joined the BJP last month.AAP stated that donations are listed in batches on its website once cheques are cleared by banks and "therefore the malicious campaign about transactions at midnight is completely incorrect."
