On Saturday, a Delhi court remanded Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody until 23 March concerning a money laundering case involving the alleged liquor policy scam.
Following Kavitha's arrest, the ED presented her, and Special Judge MK Nagpal of Rouse Avenue Courts granted the order. The ED had demanded a 10-day remand for Kavitha.
Kavitha's lawyer, Senior Advocate Vikram Chaudhary, initially argued against the arrest, arguing that it was a "blatant abuse of power and authority."
According to a report, special lawyer Zoheb Hossain, representing the ED, stated that no statement was supplied to any court, including the Supreme Court, implying that the probe agency would desist from pursuing any "no coercive action".
Delhi Liquor Policy Case
The central investigation agency detained BRS leader K Kavitha on Friday following an intensive raid on her Hyderabad home by the Enforcement Directorate. She was then sent to Delhi around midnight for additional interrogation.
Kavitha was questioned by the ED three times concerning the same issue last year. This year, she was called upon again, but she chose not to show up for the deposition, citing a Supreme Court order that shielded her from coercion.
Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, has become the third high-profile person detained in the case. In the same case, the ED had previously detained AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh.
