CBI records Telangana K Kavitha’s statement in Hyderabad
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao‘s daughter K Kavitha in the Delhi liquor scam case for more than seven hours at her residence in Hyderabad. The CBI recorded Kavitha’s statement under Section 160 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The officials, including a woman, arrived in two vehicles amid tight security around 11 a.m. and the questioning started soon after.
There was no official word about the questioning. Kavitha’s office is likely to issue a statement.
A team of CBI officials examined the Member of Legislative Council (MLC) of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) at her Banjara Hills residence about the facts she may be acquainted with in the case.
The surroundings of Kavitha’s house were deserted before the arrival of the CBI officials as she had requested her supporters and BRS leaders and workers not to gather there.
The CBI, in its notice to Kavitha, had mentioned that the case was registered on the basis of the written complaint received from Praveen Kumar Rai, Director in the Union Home Ministry against Delhi Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia and 14 others regarding the allegations pertaining to excise policy of Delhi for 2021-22.
“During the course of investigation of the subject cited case, certain facts have emerged which you may be acquainted with, hence your examination on such facts is required in the interest of the investigation,” reads the CBI notice.
On November 30, Kavitha’s name surfaced in the remand report filed by the ED in a Delhi court on Wednesday for the remand of businessman Amit Arora in the Delhi liquor policy scam.
According to the remand report, businessman Vijay Nair, who has already been arrested in the case, received kickbacks of Rs.100 crore on behalf of AAP leaders from a group, called ‘South Group‘, controlled by Sarath Reddy, Kavitha, and Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy.
