Key Points
A Delhi court on Friday granted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) permission to interrogate and record the statements of jailed Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha in the money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam..
Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 15 in connection with the excise policy case and is presently lodged in Tihar jail..
According to the Enforcement Directorate's primary allegation against Kavitha in the case, she was a member of the so-called South Group' that paid kickbacks worth 100 crore to AAP leaders - in exchange for nine retail zones under the now-scrapped policy..
The probe agency also revealed names of other persons involved in the South Group - Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSCRCP) MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, his son Raghav Magunta, Aurobindo Group promoter Sarath Reddy, and Delhi-based businessman Sameer Mahendru..
The Delhi government had formed an excise policy in 2021-22 aiming to revitalise the city's flagging liquor business by replacing the sales-volume-based regime with a license fee for traders, and promised swankier stores, free of the infamous metal grilles, ultimately giving customers a better buying experience..
