New Delhi: Court Extends Judicial Custody of BRS Leader K Kavitha in Money Laundering Case
A Delhi court on Monday extended the judicial custody of BRS leader K Kavitha till July 3 in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged excise scam.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja extended Kavitha’s custody following her production before the court as per its earlier order issuing a production warrant against her.
The warrants were issued after the court took cognisance of a charge sheet filed against Kavitha in the case on May 29.
Additionally, the court granted bail to three co-accused individuals – Prince, Damodar, and Arvind Singh. These accused were charge-sheeted during the investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) without being arrested.
Kavitha remains in judicial custody in two cases lodged by both the ED and the CBI in connection with the alleged scam.
The case involves allegations of corruption and money laundering related to the formulation and implementation of Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22, which was subsequently annulled.
Kavitha (46) was arrested by the ED from her residence in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, on March 15. The CBI later arrested her from Tihar jail in connection with the same matter.
