NEW DELHI: BRS leader K Kavitha, who was arrested in connection with a money laundering investigation, today made a move against the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) request to conduct an interrogation while she is detained in Tihar Jail.
This request by the CBI is tied to allegations of corruption in what is being referred to as the Delhi excise policy scam. The request by the CBI was granted by a court on Friday, allowing them to proceed with the interrogation of Kavitha within the confines of the jail. This decision came about following a plea by the CBI for permission to interrogate her while she is under judicial custody.
Representing Kavitha, her advocate, Nitesh Rana, presented an argument in court, highlighting concerns over the CBI’s actions. He expressed apprehension, stating,
“I have grave apprehension that CBI may not have divulged true facts in order to obtain a favourable order from the court”
and suggested that the plea filed by the CBI was done without Kavitha’s knowledge, thus
“thwarting the due process of law by filing the plea ‘behind her back’.”
These statements underline the contention that there may have been a lack of transparency in how the CBI approached the court for permission to interrogate Kavitha. Rana urged the court to consider postponing the implementation of the order until Kavitha’s arguments could be fully heard, emphasizing the need for a fair hearing on the matter.
Kavitha, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15 in connection to the same case, has faced accusations of being a pivotal figure in the “South Group.” This group is alleged to have made significant payments to the ruling AAP in Delhi, amounting to Rs 100 crore in kickbacks, to secure a substantial portion of the liquor licenses issued in the city. Following her arrest, Kavitha, the 46-year-old daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was placed in judicial custody for 14 days.
Amid these legal battles, Kavitha has also sought interim bail, citing personal reasons. She has appealed to the court, highlighting her 16-year-old son’s ongoing exams and the necessity of her presence for his “moral and emotional support.” This personal plea brings to light the human aspect of the legal proceedings, reflecting the impact of the case on Kavitha’s family life.
