Rouse Avenue Court To Review Chargesheet Against BRS Leader K Kavitha In Delhi Liquor Policy Case On July 22

The Rouse Avenue Court is set to review the supplementary chargesheet filed against BRS leader K Kavitha and others on July 22, in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case. The CBI’s third chargesheet has named K Kavitha as an accused. Kavitha is currently held in Tihar Jail on charges from both the CBI and ED.

Previously, on May 10, the ED filed supplementary charges in the Rouse Avenue Court, accusing Kavitha of being a key figure in the South Group, which allegedly paid a Rs 100 crore bribe to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for a significant share of liquor licenses in Delhi. The ED has identified Kavitha as the main conspirator and beneficiary in the Delhi Excise Policy scam. It is alleged that she collaborated with former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, using middlemen and brokers to facilitate bribes. In return, the AAP leaders allegedly provided favorable policy conditions and access to policymaking.

K Kavitha was brought before the court on April 20 after her judicial custody expired, which was subsequently extended until June 3. She was arrested by the ED on March 15 in Hyderabad for her involvement in the Delhi liquor policy scam and related money laundering activities, which involve transactions worth hundreds of crores of rupees. To date, 18 individuals have been arrested in this case, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, K Kavitha, and others.
