Delhi excise scam: BRS leader K Kavitha sent to jail for 14 days

Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha, whose custody of the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the alleged liquor scam ended, will now have to stay in jail for 14 days.

Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court has ordered to send the BRS leader to judicial custody till April 9.

The probe agency on Tuesday had moved an application before Rouse Avenue Court seeking an order to send Kavitha to judicial custody.

ED stated before the court that during her remand period, they recorded her statement, interrogated her, and confronted her with several individuals and digital records, PTI reported.

Kavitha, an MLC from Telangana and the daughter of former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was arrested in Hyderabad on March 15th and subsequently placed in ED custody the following day. Her arrest came after a search operation was carried out at her residence in Hyderabad on the same day.

Earlier, the Supreme Court declined to consider K Kavitha’s bail petition in the Delhi excise policy case, instructing her to approach the trial court and ensuring prompt consideration of her bail application.
