CBI Searches AAP Leader Durgesh Pathak’s Residence Amid Foreign Funding Probe

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted a raid at the home of Durgesh Pathak, a former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA, on Thursday, a development that has sparked political controversy. A complaint has been filed against him in connection with the action, which is connected to alleged violations of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).

According to CBI sources, Pathak, who is currently the AAP's co-incharge for Gujarat, is accused of irregularities involving foreign donations. Although the specifics of the alleged infractions have not been made public, the action has already provoked political criticism.

AAP MP Sanjay Singh responded to the raid on social media, condemning the action and charging the national government, led by the BJP, with abusing investigative agencies for political ends. On X (previously Twitter), Singh commented, "BJP's dirty game starts again." "The CBI has arrived at Gujarat's co-incharge @ipathak25's residence. The Modi administration has made every effort to dismantle the Aam Aadmi Party, but it has failed. Gujarat's BJP situation is precarious. CBI was dispatched to threaten @ipathak25 as soon as he was named co-incharge.

Tension has increased as a result of the raid's timing, which came just after Pathak was appointed to a crucial party position in Gujarat. AAP leaders have described it as a politically motivated attempt to impede their operations in the state. The CBI has not yet released any formal announcements regarding the raid's results.
