Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday arrested BRS MLC K Kavitha, in connection with Delhi excise policy case.
Earlier on Wednesday, the CBI questioned K Kavitha in Tihar jail where she is lodged after her arrest by the Enforcement Directorate, officials said Tuesday. The agency was given permission by the special court to question her on the WhatsApp chats recovered from co-accused Buchi Babu's phone and documents related to a land deal after which Rs 100 crore was allegedly paid to the Aam Aadmi Party in kickbacks to swing excise policy in favour of a liquor lobby.
The ED had arrested K Kavitha, 46, from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15.
K Kavitha has been accused of being a key member in the ‘South group’, which the investigative agencies allege paid the Aam Aadmi party (AAP) kickbacks amounting to over ₹100 crore in return for a share of liquor licences in the national capital Delhi.
