BRS leader K Kavitha withdraws her plea against ED summons in the Supreme Court

BRS leader K Kavitha withdrew her plea from the Supreme Court challenging the ED summons related to the Delhi excise irregularities case after her arrest.

Kavitha’s plea challenging her arrest remains pending before the Supreme Court. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleged that she conspired with top leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, to obtain favors in the formulation and implementation of the Delhi Excise policy. The ED claimed that she was involved in paying Rs 100 crore to AAP leaders in exchange for these favors.

The ED arrested Kavitha, an MLC of the Telangana Legislative Council, in connection with the alleged Delhi Liquor Policy Scam. She is currently in ED’s custody for interrogation until March 23, following her arrest on March 15 after a search operation at her residence in Hyderabad.

During the search, ED officials alleged obstruction by Kavitha’s relatives and associates. The ED stated, “K Kavitha, along with others, allegedly conspired with the top leaders of AAP for getting favors in the Delhi Excise policy formulation and implementation.”

The ED has conducted searches at 245 locations across the country, including Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai. Fifteen individuals, including Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Vijay Nair from AAP, have been arrested in the case. The ED has filed one prosecution complaint and five supplementary complaints so far.

The ED also claimed that assets worth Rs 128.79 crore, generated from the proceeds of crime, have been traced and attached.
