BRS leaders K T Rama Rao and T Harish Rao, along with Kavitha’s husband Dr Anil, visited BRS MLC K Kavitha at the Enforcement Directorate office. Kavitha is in custody for a money laundering case related to the Delhi Excise Policy.
Kavitha, 46, was arrested in Hyderabad and brought to Delhi. She appeared in court and was placed in ED custody until March 23. The court allowed her relatives, including her brother KTR and husband Anil, to visit her for half an hour every day during her remand period.
During questioning by the ED, Kavitha was asked about a payment of Rs 100 crore to the AAP government for a liquor policy, which was later canceled. She is also accused of benefiting Rs 192 crore from the deal and investing heavily in Hyderabad lands. The ED presented documents of her land purchases and inquired about her investments and fund sources for the payment to the AAP government.
Kavitha provided some answers during the questioning but remained silent on other inquiries. Her husband plans to challenge her arrest with a contempt petition in the Supreme Court. KTR and Anil consulted with top lawyers on this matter.
The ED requested Kavitha’s custody for 10 days. She is believed to be a significant member of the ‘South Group’, accused of providing kickbacks to the Delhi AAP government in exchange for liquor licenses.
