Delhi Court Sends BRS MLC K Kavitha to Judicial Custody Till April 9 in Money Laundering Case

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha has been remanded to judicial custody until April 9 by Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court in connection with the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. Special judge Kaveri Baweja granted Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) appeal for her judicial custody extension.

Kavitha, who was arrested by the ED on March 15, had initially been remanded to the agency’s custody until March 23, which was later extended to March 26. A plea for interim bail, citing her 16-year-old son’s upcoming examinations, is scheduled for hearing on April 1.

In the money laundering case linked to the liquor policy, ED alleges Kavitha’s involvement in the ‘South Group,’ purportedly responsible for paying kickbacks amounting to ₹100 crore to leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for securing nine retail zones under the now-defunct policy. Others implicated in this group include 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.

The arrests from the AAP include prominent members such as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former deputy Manish Sisodia, and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh. Kejriwal, arrested on March 21, is reportedly continuing his duties from jail. The AAP affirms that despite his arrest, Kejriwal will remain the national convenor and chief minister.
