A Delhi court remanded Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) legislator K. Kavitha to seven days’ custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam case.
Ms. Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, was arrested by the ED from her house in Hyderabad on Friday, hours after the Central agency searched the premises and interrogated her.
Before entering the court on Saturday afternoon, Ms. Kavitha termed the arrest as “illegal” and said she would fight it. She has been questioned by the agency over the past two years and she had also filed a plea against the ED’s summons in the Supreme Court, which has been listed for hearing on March 19.
