Delhi Excise policy case: ED takes BRS leader K Kavitha into custody in Hyderabad

Hyderabad/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials Friday took Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha into custody in Hyderabad in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case.

Kavitha, daughter of BRS president and former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao was taken into custody from her residence, amidst tight security arrangements.

The ED carried out raids along with the IT team at her residence during the day as part of the probe in the case before taking Kavitha into custody.

The agency is probing the alleged liquor scam committed by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi.

The liquor policy was scrapped and a CBI probe commenced, following which the ED booked a case against the same accused under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

Kavitha’s involvement in the case came to light after the ED arrested Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Ramchandran Pillai on March 9 last year.

The ED said Pillai had confessed to representing Kavitha’s interests in the excise policy case.

Kavitha earlier appeared before the ED in Delhi and surrendered her phones to the authorities.

The agency is likely to shift her to Delhi this evening for further questioning.
