In what could further mount trouble for former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao's family, the Enforcement Directorate on March 23 alleged that a nephew of BRS leader K. Kavitha was "involved" in the transfer of illicit funds or the proceeds of crime in the Delhi Excise policy-linked money laundering case.
The central agency informed the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court of Judge Kaweri Baweja in Delhi that it conducted searches at the premises of the said relative, Meka Sri Saran, on March 23 after his role in this case came to the fore during the questioning of Ms. Kavitha over the last week.
Ms. Kavitha, the 46-year-old MLC daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, was arrested by the ED on March 15 and she was produced before the court for extension of her custody on March 23. The court sent her to agency's custody till March 26.
