The Quint’s investigation reveals that the director of an alleged shell company, Beagle Marketing Pvt Ltd, and its auditor, are linked to other shell companies that the ED says gave donations of Rs 2 crore to the AAP.

In the wake of demonetisation, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) recently cracked down on several branches of Axis Bank and arrested two bank managers, Vinit Gupta and Shobit Sinha, as well as a Chartered Accountant (CA), Rajeev Kushwaha. They are accused of laundering Rs 39 crore through bank channels and various shell companies.

Skyline Metal and Alloy Pvt Ltd and Goldmine Buildcon Pvt Ltd are two out of four alleged shell companies that gave donations of Rs 50 lakh each to the AAP in April 2014. Documents obtained from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) reveal that Beagle Marketing Pvt Ltd and these two companies appointed the same auditor – with the email ID rjkumar@ymail.com – for the financial year 2013-14.
