K Kavitha, a prominent leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and daughter of former Telangana CM KCR, has been remanded to Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody until March 23. This follows her arrest by ED officials from Hyderabad, with allegations linking her to the Delhi Excise Policy scam.

The ED sought a ten-day remand for Kavitha, citing her alleged involvement in conspiring with top Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders to manipulate the Delhi Excise Policy for personal gains. The agency claims she orchestrated kickbacks amounting to Rs 100 crore to AAP leaders for favorable policy outcomes.

According to ANI, ED's statement alleges that Kavitha and members of the South Group colluded with AAP leaders, including Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, to influence policy decisions. These actions reportedly led to Kavitha gaining stakes in Indo Spirits and benefiting from the distribution business of M/s Pernod Ricard India Pvt Ltd, making Indo Spirits highly profitable.

The ED further accuses Kavitha of providing false evidence during inquiries under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), citing chats between her associates indicating ownership stakes in M/s Indo Spirits. Despite evidence, Kavitha denied having any shares in the company.

Earlier, Kavitha appeared before the Rouse Avenue Court in New Delhi regarding the alleged money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy. Her arrest followed a raid at her Hyderabad residence, and she labeled the arrest as "illegal" before her court appearance.

The court proceedings, presided over by special judge MK Nagpal at Rouse Avenue Court, witnessed arguments about Kavitha's alleged involvement in the Delhi Excise Policy Scam.
