The Rouse Avenue Court has acknowledged the charge sheet filed against VRS leader K. Kavita in the ongoing Delhi Liquor Policy Scam and has issued a production warrant for her appearance on July 26 via video conferencing. Special Judge Kaveri Baveja has directed the jail authorities to ensure her presence for the next hearing.
Former minister Manish Sisodia, also implicated in the case, has had his judicial custody extended until July 26. This follows the court’s denial of his bail request on April 30 in relation to corruption and money laundering charges brought by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Kavita was arrested by the ED on March 15 and subsequently by the CBI on April 11 while she was already in judicial custody. Both the ED and CBI have detained her in relation to the same case. On July 1, the High Court denied her bail in both matters. Kavita was initially arrested by the ED in Hyderabad on March 15.
The investigation into Kavita and others began in 2022 when the CBI filed a First Information Report (FIR) alleging manipulation of the Delhi Excise Policy for 2021-22 to favor certain businesses, creating monopolies and cartels in the wholesale and retail liquor market. The CBI and ED claim that these manipulations benefited specific businessmen and groups from South India, who then allegedly funneled a portion of their profits to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for their Goa Assembly election campaign.
