The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday received permission to interrogate the jailed Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K. Kavitha in the money laundering case pertaining to now-scrapped Delhi excise policy-2021-22 scam.
The order for interrogation was passed by Special Judge (PC Act) Kaveri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Courts on a plea filed by the CBI to question Ms. Kavitha, who is currently under judicial custody after she was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15 in the same case.
Terming her arrest ‘illegal’, Ms. Kavitha — daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao — said she would fight against the same.
