BRS leader K Kavitha’s interim bail plea dismissed by Delhi court in excise policy case

The Delhi Rouse Avenue Court on Monday dismissed the interim bail application moved by Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in the money laundering case related to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.

K Kavitha’s regular bail application is pending before the court and is listed for hearing the arguments on April 20.

K Kavitha was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the money laundering case from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15.

Kavitha, 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 Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi kickbacks of ₹100 crore in return for a big share of liquor licences in the national capital. She was sent to 14-day judicial custody last Tuesday.
