Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha found herself in the judicial spotlight as a Delhi court extended her custody until April 23 in connection to a money laundering case linked to an alleged excise policy scam. Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, faced the court after the conclusion of her previous Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja acceded to the CBI’s plea for judicial custody, resulting in Kavitha’s confinement until April 23. Reacting to the decision, Kavitha expressed her discontent, implying political motivations behind her custody, stating, “This is not CBI’s custody, it is BJP’s custody.” She further asserted that the CBI’s line of questioning mirrored that of BJP leaders, suggesting a prolonged interrogation history spanning two years.
The CBI apprehended Kavitha from Tihar Jail on April 11 and subsequently presented her before the Delhi court on April 12, where she was initially remanded to custody for three days. The CBI’s pursuit for an extension stemmed from evidence such as witness statements, retrieved WhatsApp chats, and financial transaction documents implicating Kavitha as a key player in an alleged scheme to influence Delhi’s 2021-22 Excise Policy.
In granting the extension, the court cited the necessity for custodial interrogation to confront Kavitha with collected evidence and witnesses, aiming to unveil the larger conspiracy. Additionally, Judge Baweja dismissed Kavitha’s plea challenging the CBI’s custody request, thereby prolonging her legal ordeal.
