Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday in New Delhi for the second round of questioning in the Delhi excise policy scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ED questioned the BRS leader for the first time on March 11 for almost nine hours in connection with a money laundering case. Kavitha’s statements were recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KCR’s daughter received a second summons on March 16, but she chose not to appear and instead sent Soma Bharath, a BRS party office bearer, to the ED office. Soma Bharath handed the investigating officer a six-page explanation against her deposition as well as her bank statement, personal details, and business information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kavitha also sent a letter to the ED stating that it must wait until the Supreme Court hears her case challenging the summons and requesting protection from arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The federal probe agency confronted K Kavitha with the statements made by Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Ramchandran Pillai, an arrested accused in the case who allegedly shares close ties with her, apart from those of a few others involved in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per the investigation carried out so far, the ED in a statement said that Vijay Nair, on behalf of leaders of AAP has received kickbacks to the tune of at least Rs 100 crore from a group, called South Group (controlled by Sarath Reddy, K Kavitha, Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ED has so far arrested 12 people in the case, including former Delhi deputy chief minister and AAP leader Manish Sisodia. The senior AAP leader appeared before the ED on March 17, however, his custody has been extended by 5 days and will appear before the court on March 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
