AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal said that the party was examining the tapes and strict actions will be taken against anyone found guilty.
"There will be many more sting operations. We are examining the tapes. If anyone is found guilty, they will not be spared," said Kejriwal.
Vishwas, who was also seen in the tape, has maintained that there was no wrongdoing by the party. "An event company approached me and requested me to perform. They offered Rs 50,000 and we have not done anything wrong in accepting the cash," said Kumar Vishwas.
