Sacked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Kapil Mishra fainted during a press meet on Sunday after levelling fresh allegations of financial "irregularities" against party chief Arvind Kejriwal.

Mishra, who been sitting on an indefinite hunger strike demanding that the party disclose details of foreign trips made by its leaders, was immediately rushed to RML hospital in Delhi. 

Upping the ante against Kejriwal, the former water minister of his cabinet claimed that the party concealed from the Election Commission, the total amount of donations it received, and used "fictitious" donor names and "shell companies" to launder money. 

"For the last three years, the party has converted black money into white and has been spending it on foreign trips of AAP leaders," Mishra claimed.

He alleged that the party had received donations worth crores of rupees from 16 "non-existent" companies on the midnight of January 20, 2014. Skyline Metal, Overseas Fashion are some of the "fake companies" he mentioned. 

"All these shell companies are registered in the name of AAP MLA Shivcharan Goyal. They have transferred funds worth crores to Kejriwal at 12am on Jan 20, 2014. The funds received from these companies were send to Krishna Nagar branch of Axis Bank where cases of converting black money into white were reported at the time of demonetization," Mishra alleged.

He also displayed two blank cheques worth Rs 35 crore each without a date which has already been encashed. "All this happened with the knowledge of Arvind Kejriwal. I will go to CBI tomorrow and submit these documents," Mishra said.

Before losing consciousness and falling down, Mishra threatened Kejriwal to resign by the end of the day or he will "pull him by his collar and drag him to the gates of Tihar jail."

The 36-year-old former Delhi minister also claimed of collecting documents in connection with a "big scam" in AAP's mohalla clinic.

He also demanded Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to order an enquiry into the foreign trips of AAP leaders. 

Earlier, Mishra had levelled allegations of corruption against Kejriwal and Health Minister Satyendra Jain. He also filed a complaint with the ACB against Kejriwal and other AAP leaders in the alleged 400-crore water tanker scam.
