As per the CBI and ED, certain persons/ group from South India were benefited in the process and some amount of their profits was given to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which used the same to campaign for Goa assembly elections.
The case was registered under provisions of Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
