Delhi High Court Refuses BRS MLA K Kavitha Bail In Liquor Policy Case

K Kavitha suffered a blow when a Delhi court on Monday refused the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) legislator temporary release. Kavitha was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate on March 15 in connection with liquor policy issue.

Kavitha, a member of the Telangana Legislative Council and the daughter of former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was taken by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and is presently being held in Tihar jail following a court order that she be placed in judicial custody for 14 days, until April 9. She spent the previous ten days in ED arrest. On March 15, the ED arrested her in Hyderabad. She was placed in ED custody by Delhi court until March 23. The custody was then prolonged for further three days. She was arrested on suspicion of belonging to the “South Group.”

The ED had stated in its remand application that Kavitha “conspired with top leaders of AAP and gave them kickbacks to the tune of Rs 100 crore and in exchange, got undue favours in the Delhi Excise Policy formation and implementation,” branding her one of the kingpins and major conspirators.

According to a report, the application claimed that she “orchestrated” a deal with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his former deputy Manish Sisodia, in which she and other members of the “South Group” paid bribes “through a string of intermediaries and middlemen” to gain access to the formation of the excise policy.
