The Enforcement Directorate (ED) secured an extension of custody for Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) legislature K Kavitha until March 26 in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam money laundering case. Special Judge (PC) Act Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Courts granted the ED’s request, citing alleged non-cooperation from Kavitha during interrogation.
The ED claimed that Kavitha’s mobile phone data was deleted during the investigation and that her nephew, also implicated in the case, was uncooperative. Kavitha has filed a bail application, which the ED opposes, asserting that it cannot be entertained at this stage of the case. The agency alleges that Kavitha was involved in a conspiracy to receive kickbacks and secure undue favors in the excise policy formulation.
