Supreme Court Issues Notice To CBI And ED On K Kavita’s Bail Plea

The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding the bail plea of jailed BRS leader K Kavita. The court has requested replies from both agencies by August 20. Justices BR Gavai and KV Vishwanathan are hearing the case.

Kavita has challenged the Delhi High Court’s rejection of her bail plea. Her appeal is now before the Supreme Court. During the previous bail hearing at the Delhi High Court, senior advocate Vikram Chaudhary, representing Kavita, argued that the investigations conducted by the ED and CBI were not fair. He claimed the probes unfairly targeted Kavita.

The CBI and ED have opposed Kavita’s bail application. They argue that she played a significant role in the conspiracy behind the Delhi liquor policy scam. Additionally, they have raised concerns that Kavita might tamper with evidence and influence witnesses if released on bail. The agencies highlighted her influential position as a potential risk factor.

Furthermore, the ED has alleged that Kavita benefited from the proceeds of crime associated with the Delhi liquor policy scam. Her lawyer pointed out that Kavita is the only woman among the 50 accused in the case and requested the court to consider her bail application with this in mind.

The ED arrested Kavita from her residence in Banjara Hills on March 15. She is accused of being a key member of the South Group involved in the liquor scam. Notably, businessmen Raghav Magunta, P Sharad Reddy, and Dinesh Arora, have since become government witnesses. Notably, they were behind the bar in the same case.

As the Supreme Court awaits responses from the CBI and ED, the outcome of Kavita’s bail plea remains uncertain. The case continues to draw significant attention due to its high-profile nature and the serious allegations involved.
