A Delhi Court extended the remand of Bharat Rashtra Samiti leader K. Kavitha in the liquor policy case till July 3.
The Telangana leader was produced in Delhi Rouse Avenue Court on Monday on the expiry of her judicial custody period in the money laundering case registered in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam in the national capital. Kavitha was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 15 from her residence in Banjara Hills in Telangana.
Kavitha, an MLC and daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, has been accused of being a key member of the "South Group", which allegedly paid the ruling AAP in Delhi kickbacks of Rs 100 crore in return for a big share of liquor licences in the national capital.
Besides ED, she is also facing charges in a case registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with the alleged scam. CBI arrested her from Tihar prison on April 11, while she was serving remand in ED’s case.
Besides Kavitha, Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia have also been arrested in connection with the case. Kejriwal, who was granted interim bail for Lok Sabha polls, returned to Tihar on Sunday.
