Big development in Delhi liquorgate investigation, K Kavitha arrested by ED

After conducting raids, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday arrested Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha in the Delhi excise policy case after searches at her residence in Hyderabad.

Kavitha, the daughter of BRS President and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, will be brought to New Delhi by a flight on Friday night, sources said.

The ED took Kavitha into custody after searches of her premises, which lasted for a few hours.

The ED already questioned the former MP on a few occasions in the past. However, she has not appeared before the summons by the agency since October last year.

Kavitha had approached the Supreme Court, challenging the summons.

Tension prevailed outside her residence in the evening as BRS leaders and workers gathered there on learning about her arrest and raised slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ED.

BRS Working President and her brother K T Rama Rao and senior leader and cousin T Harish Rao reached Kavitha’s house but were stopped outside. The ED officials later allowed them into the house.

BRS leader and former minister V Prashanth Reddy claimed that the ED team came to her residence with a plan to arrest her. “They said they came to conduct a search but now we came to know that they are taking her to Delhi by 8.45 p.m. flight,” he said.
