In a recent development concerning the alleged excise policy scam, a Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha until 3 July.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court made the decision when she produced Kavitha before her on Monday.
The extension of custody follows the issuance of production warrants for Kavitha and co-accused Chanpreet Singh by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on May 29, as part of their money laundering probe into the case.
During the court proceedings, the judge extended Kavitha’s custody for a month and granted bail to three co-accused individuals named in the charge sheet but not arrested: Prince, Damodar, and Arvind Singh.
This extension of custody follows the court’s previous decision to take cognizance of the sixth supplementary charge sheet filed by the ED, indicating sufficient material to proceed against the accused.
The probe agency had submitted the supplementary charge sheet on May 10, elaborating on additional evidence and allegations against the accused parties.
According to official sources, the prosecution has filed a complaint under Sections 45 and 44(1) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), spanning over 220 pages.
Notably, the case has seen a total of 18 arrests so far, including prominent figures such as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former Deputy Delhi CM Manish Sisodia, several AAP leaders, and Kavitha herself.
The proceedings underscore the gravity of the allegations and the ongoing investigation into the alleged excise policy scam, signaling continued legal action against those implicated in the case.
