BRS leader K Kavitha, currently lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with the Delhi excise policy case, was taken to Delhi’s DDU Hospital on Tuesday evening. The reason for her hospital visit remains unclear. Kavitha was arrested on March 15 this year, and six days later, the Enforcement Directorate also arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a related money laundering probe.

Earlier this month, Kavitha sought “default” bail from a Delhi court in the corruption case tied to the now-scrapped liquor policy. Initially arrested by the Enforcement Directorate, she was subsequently arrested by the CBI the following month. Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, is currently under judicial custody in both cases.
Earlier, K Kavitha was questioned by the CBI inside the jail regarding WhatsApp chats retrieved from her co-accused Buchi Babu’s phone, and also about an alleged payment of ₹100 crore to the party.
Recently, K Kavitha approached a Delhi court seeking “default” bail in a corruption case.
In her bail plea, K Kavitha’s lawyer argued that the chargesheet against her was incomplete. The plea pointed out that under the law, the CBI must file a comprehensive chargesheet within 60 days of arrest. Since Kavitha had been in custody longer than that period, her lawyer contended that the filing of a third supplementary chargesheet appeared to be a deliberate attempt to prevent her release on default bail and circumvent the provisions of Section 309(2) of the Cr.P.C.
The court has scheduled further hearing on the matter for July 22.
