The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on April 11 arrested Bharat Rashtra Samithi legislator K. Kavitha in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.
Ms. Kavitha was lodged in Tihar Jail under judicial custody after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested her in Hyderabad on money-laundering charge on March 15. On April 10, the CBI got approval from a special court to arrest her.
It has been alleged that Ms. Kavitha was part of a “South Group’ which paid ₹100 crore in advance as “kickbacks” through the then Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) communication and media in-charge Vijay Nair, who represented some AAP leaders.
