New Delhi, March 11 The questionning of K. Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the Delhi excise policy case ended after nine hours on Saturday.
Kavita was reportedly confronted with Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Pillai, who is already in ED custody for his alleged involvement in the case. A woman deputy director-level officer of the ED recorded the testimony of Kavitha.
Pillai was representing the 'South Group', which allegedly paid kickbacks of Rs 100 crore to Aam Aadmi Party leaders which was reportedly used in the Assembly elections in Goa.
Pillai has allegedly said that he was an associate of Kavitha.
Their statements were recorded under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Kavitha was summoned to join the probe on Thursday, but she had sought more time after which her questioning was postponed to Saturday.
Kavitha has said that she has never met former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who has been arrested by the CBI and the ED in connection with the case, claiming that her name was being unnecessary dragged into the matter.
