A Delhi Court today denied interim bail to BRS leader K Kavitha who has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the money laundering case connected with the alleged liquor policy scam. Special CBI judge Kaveri Baweja dismissed the interim bail plea. Kavitha moved to the court on Thursday, urging the court to give her interim bail for her son’s examinations citing his need for her moral and emotional support. The ED opposed the submission, claiming Kavitha destroyed evidence and influenced witnesses in the case.
Kavitha was remanded to judicial custody till 9th April on March 26. She was arrested on March 15 by the ED from her Hyderabad residence. She is presently in judicial custody in Tihar Jail. The BRS leader is among one of the most high-profile politicians arrested by the ED in the Delhi excise policy case.
Other political leaders arrested in this case include Delhi Chief Minster Arvind Kejriwal and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
