BRS Leader K Kavitha Produced In Court

She was arrested from her Hyderabad home by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) last evening in the Delhi liquor policy case. Terming her arrest illegal, the BRS leader vowed to "fight it out".

After landing in Delhi at midnight, she was taken to the agency's office, where some medical tests were done.

The agency is seeking remand for custodial interrogation of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao's daughter.

Reacting to her arrest, Ms. Kavitha's brother and former Telangana minister KT Rama Rao in a post on X said, "Abuse of power and institutional misuse to settle political scores is something that has become extremely increasingly common with BJP government tenure.

ED needs to answer the Supreme Court on the inordinate rush to arrest when the matter is very much sub-judice and up for review in a couple of days, on the 19th of March.

What's even more appalling is the ED undermining its undertaking given to the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Justice shall prevail and we will continue to fight legally against this."

On Friday, the financial probe agency took Telangana's Legislative Council Member K Kavitha, aged 46, in custody in a dramatic arrest.

An hours-long raid was conducted at her premises in Hyderabad in a money laundering case that was related to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
