The ED suspects that loan funds were misappropriated for investments in real estate, foreign ventures, and new businesses, while manipulating financial records to secure additional loans and avoid being classified as non-performing assets (NPAs).

AAP is alleged by the ED of sending funds through hawala and distributing them in Goa through two persons handling their election campaign.

The ED opposed the plea, arguing that Soren was not entitled to any relief as he had been arrested months before the elections.
