The Supreme Court has granted bail to Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha in the corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
According to PTI, A bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan noted that Kavitha has been in custody for around five months and the probe against her by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was complete in these cases.
The high court had dismissed Kavitha’s bail pleas in both cases, saying she was prima facie one of the main conspirators in the criminal conspiracy related to the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22.
The ED arrested Kavitha (46) from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15. The CBI arrested her on April 11 from Tihar jail.
Kavitha has denied all allegations.
Earlier, The Supreme Court asked the ED and the CBI to show what “material” they had to prove that BRS leader K Kavitha was involved in the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
BRS Working President K T Rama Rao thanked the Supreme Court for granting bail to his sister and party MLC K Kavitha in the corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam and said justice has prevailed in the cases.
Rama Rao was in Delhi in view of Kavitha’s bail plea coming up in the apex court on Tuesday.
“Thank You Supreme Court. Relieved. Justice prevailed,” he said on X.
Thank You Supreme Court 🙏
Relieved. Justice prevailed
