BRS Leader K Kavitha's House Raided Over Delhi Liquor Policy Case

New Delhi/Hyderabad:

The Enforcement Directorate has raided the house of BRS Leader K Kavitha in Hyderabad in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case. The action comes after the leader skipped several summons issued by the agency. 

Ms Kavitha is a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) in Telangana and is the daughter of Bharat Rashtra Samithi Chief and former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao. While she has been questioned in the case earlier, she has skipped at least two summons this year.

Amit Arora, one the accused in the money laundering case linked to the scrapped Delhi liquor policy, had taken Ms Kavitha’s name during questioning. The agency has alleged that there was a liquor lobby called the ‘South Group’, which paid Rs 100 crore in kickbacks to AAP leaders through another accused, Vijay Nair.

The mastermind of the South Group, it is alleged, is a business associate of Ms Kavitha. The BRS leader is also said to be part of the group.
