BRS leader K Kavitha has moved the Delhi High Court seeking bail in a money laundering case under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) linked to an alleged excise policy scam.
Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma is set to hear the matter today.
Bail Denied by Trial Court
The BRS Leader has challenged the trial court’s May 6 ruling, which denied her bail application in the money laundering case. The trial court also turned down her bail plea in the corruption case filed by the CBI concerning the same ‘scam’. The purported scam involves alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22, which was subsequently annulled.
Judicial Custody
Kavitha is currently in judicial custody in both cases filed by the CBI and the ED, respectively. The ED apprehended Kavitha (46) from her residence in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, on March 15. The CBI arrested the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader while she was already under judicial custody in the ED case.
