NEW DELHI: The
Delhi court
on Tuesday extended the judicial custody of BRS leader
K Kavitha
till May 14 in
money laundering
case linked to the
excise policy case
.
The Rouse avenue court on Monday had refused to grant bail to K Kavitha in both CBI and ED’s cases. While opposing the bail plea, the
Enforcement Directorate
said that her role is being investigated and a good chance of tampering can arise if she is allowed to get out.
Special Judge for CBI and ED, Kaveri Baweja, dismissed Kavitha’s applications, saying the stage was not right to grant the relief.
ED claimed that Kavitha and AAP leaders orchestrated a scheme to benefit from the liquor business, with kickbacks allegedly exchanged. The agency’s prosecution complaint highlighted loopholes in the policy favoring AAP leaders and kickbacks totaling Rs 100 crore from a group known as the ‘South Group,’ of which Kavitha was allegedly a part.
