The bail application of BRS leader K Kavitha in connection with the Delhi Excise policy scam money laundering case has been adjourned by Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court till the court’s next hearing. The verdict shall come down on May 6. K Kavitha’s bail plea was turned down, but at the same time, she was released on regular bail until April 23, which means she would be in judicial custody until her regular bail lapsed; the Rouse Avenue Court of Delhi decided to keep her in the same custody until the next hearing, which was on April 15.
During the court proceedings, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) presented the accused after the expiration of her previous eight-day custody. The focus of K Kavitha’s interrogation centered on WhatsApp conversations recovered from the mobile device belonging to Buchi Babu, a co-accused in the case. Authorities also inquired about documentation related to a land transaction, which allegedly involved a payment of Rs 100 crore to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
The former president of BRS – K Kavitha, was picked up by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) from judicial custody in connection with an Enforcement Directorate (ED) case. As per CBI’s plea, her arrest was vital for interrogating the background of the whole cycle of crime, starting with the formulation of the said policy and then, consequently, its implementation. Among her jobs was to analyze the money flows of illicit funds and trace the symbiosis of those who were not directly implicated by virtue of the information that she controlled exclusively.
As for the ED, it detained K Kavitha, who is a member of the Legislative Council (MLC) from the state of Telangana, on 15th March, which was also in connection with the liquor endorsement scam. The hardware initiation of the CBI probe was an out situation within the report of the Secretary of Delhi in July, which pointed out that various activities had occurred that were in violation of laws and rules regarding excise policy.
