Delhi court allows CBI to question KCR's daughter Kavitha in excise policy case.
Delhi court permits CBI to question K Kavitha in excise scam.
A Delhi court approved the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to question and record statements from incarcerated Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha regarding the money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. The court's decision came in response to the probe agency's request seeking permission to interrogate Kavitha, who is currently held in Tihar jail after being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 15 in connection to the excise policy case. Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, is the third notable politician arrested in the case, following AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh.
The Enforcement Directorate alleges that Kavitha, as part of the 'South Group,' paid bribes totalling ₹100 crores to AAP leaders for nine retail zones under the now-defunct policy. The agency also named other individuals associated with the 'South Group,' including Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSCRCP) MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, his son Raghav Magunta, Aurobindo Group promoter Sarath Reddy, and Delhi-based businessman Sameer Mahendru. Kavitha was initially in the central agency's custody until March 23, which was later extended. She is currently in 14-day judicial custody. The court has reserved its decision on Kavitha's interim bail plea for April 9. She had sought interim bail citing her son's upcoming exam.
