NEW DELHI: BRS MLC K Kavitha, whose house was raided by the Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax officials, is being brought to Delhi for further questioning, news agency ANI said quoting sources. Kavitha is under the scanner in connection with bribery allegations in the Delhi liquor policy case. According to reports, Kavitha has been taken into custody by ED after raids at her premises in Hyderabad as part of a money laundering investigation.
Reacting to the searches, BRS spokesperson Sravan Dasoju alleged that the raids were politically motivated and both BJP and Congress are hand-in-glove to harass leaders of the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led party.
“Wherever ( Prime Minister Narendra) Modi goes ED and IT ( Income Tax) either precedes or succeeds. That is what is happening in Telangana. They want to create a panic situation in the BRS. The ED and IT which are working at the behest of BJP are not bothered about the Congress leaders of Telangana who have illegally obtained so much wealth,” the BRS leader said.
ED has questioned the former Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao’s daughter in the past about the bribery allegations and money transfers in the scam, where it was claimed that Rs 100 crore changed hands.
The ED has alleged that the South Group, allegedly controlled by Kavitha, Sarath Reddy and Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, bribed the AAP govt to formulate an excise policy to facilitate companies to win bids, form a cartel, and control retail outlets in Delhi. The probe agency has claimed that Kavitha invested money through her benamis and returned the money from the company after getting the licences.
