The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Kavitha (46), the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15 in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested her on April 11 in Tihar jail, where she was lodged in the money laundering case being probed by the ED. Her judicial custody in both cases was scheduled to end on May 7.
The Rouse Avenue Court of Delhi has reserved the order on bail pleas by Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in relation to the CBI case related to the Excise Policy case. The plea argues that the ruling party is using investigative agencies to publicly connect the petitioner to the Delhi Excise Policy, aiming to take further coercive actions against her. The plea claims that the investigation is not to ascertain her involvement in the alleged scam but to bring her and her father into disrepute, potentially using the political mileage gained from such actions for the 2024 general elections.
