In a significant development for BRS leader K Kavitha, the Supreme Court granted her bail on Tuesday in connection with the money laundering and corruption cases related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan noted that Kavitha had been in custody for about 5 months and that the investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate were complete. The CBI is handling the corruption charges, while the ED is focused on the money laundering aspect.
Kavitha was initially arrested by the ED at her Hyderabad home on March 15, and the CBI took her into custody on April 11 while she was in Tihar Jail.
The CBI and ED allege that Kavitha’s ‘South Group’ paid at least Rs 100 crore to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for favors related to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
The Supreme Court has ordered Kavitha to post bail bonds of Rs 10 lakhs each for the two cases. She is also required to avoid tampering with evidence or influencing proceedings, surrender her passport, and report to the investigative agencies while cooperating with the trial.
