Telangana Politician K Kavitha Arrested in Delhi Liquor Policy Case

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, faces new legal hurdles as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrests her in connection with the now-defunct Delhi liquor policy case. This comes after her previous arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15, on money laundering charges related to the same case, leading to her incarceration in Tihar Jail until April 23.

Kavitha vehemently denies any wrongdoing, labeling the charges against her as politically motivated and devoid of substantial evidence. Despite her imprisonment, she challenges the legitimacy of the accusations, maintaining her innocence.

CBI officials, granted permission by a special court, interrogate Kavitha within Tihar Jail, focusing on WhatsApp conversations retrieved from a co-accused’s phone and documents concerning a land deal linked to the liquor policy case. These developments highlight the escalating legal scrutiny surrounding Kavitha’s alleged involvement.

The ED further complicates matters by implicating Kavitha as a key figure in the “South Group,” accused of funneling Rs 100 crore in kickbacks to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi in exchange for a significant share of liquor licenses. This revelation adds another layer of complexity to Kavitha’s legal predicament, deepening public intrigue surrounding the broader implications of the case.
