The Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi has extended the judicial custody of BRS leader K Kavitha until July 3, as reported by PTI on June 3.
Kavitha was presented before the court at the end of her judicial custody in connection with an Enforcement Directorate case related to the Delhi Liquor Excise Case. She was arrested on March 15 for her alleged involvement in a money laundering case linked to the excise scam.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja extended her judicial custody after she was brought to court following a production warrant issued earlier, according to PTI. This warrant was issued after the court took cognizance of a charge sheet against her on May 29.
Meanwhile, the court granted bail to three co-accused — Prince, Damodar, and Arvind Singh — who had been charge-sheeted without arrest during the ED’s investigation.
The 224-page chargesheet is the sixth supplementary prosecution complaint in the now-repealed Delhi excise policy case being investigated by the ED. It names Chanpreet Singh, Damodar Sharma, Prince Kumar, and Arvind Singh.
Kavitha remains in judicial custody in two cases filed by the ED and CBI related to the alleged scam. The case involves purported corruption and money laundering in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22, which was subsequently scrapped.
The ED arrested Kavitha, 46, from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15, while the CBI later arrested her from Tihar Jail.
