Allegations of corruption by Walmart, the world's largest retailer, are being looked into by the relevant agencies, Commerce Minister Anand Sharma said Sunday.
Speaking to newspersons accompanying Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the Asean summit in Phnom Penh, Sharma said he did not want to comment on allegations of violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act against Walmart.
"Allegations are allegations... In a rule-based country, there are agencies and authorities to look into such things," Sharma said.
Walmart has disclosed that it is investigating allegations of corrupt practices and alleged violations of US anti-bribery law in India, China and Brazil.
The BJP has also demanded a probe into the allegations.
"We have inquiries or investigations regarding allegations of potential FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a federal law of the US) violations in a number of foreign markets where we operate, including but not limited to Brazil, China and India. This is in addition to the ongoing investigation in Mexico," the company has said in a statement.

Corruption in India.
D. Narshibhai Sondagar. | Sat Nov 24 09:10:40 2012
This Corruption business has gone so deep in the country that it starts from a baby is born till he dies and to get a final death certificate you have to pay something. Top Ministers are all playing in Billions of Rupees. Why Supreme Court is not Authorise to investigate foreign accounts of the top sitting ministers and their families including top business peoples. Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi are all in to it. Give Power to Supreme Court to investigate immediately and see what happens.
