BRS leader KT Rama Rao, on Sunday, 17 March, met his sister K Kavitha, who is in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy case, at the agency office.

Kavitha, 46, was arrested from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on Friday and was brought to Delhi. She was produced before a special PMLA court the next day, which sent her to ED custody until 23 March.

While sending Kavitha to ED custody, the court had allowed some relatives whom the court had named in its order, including brother KTR and husband Anil D, to meet her for half an hour every day between 6-7 pm during her remand period.

Official sources said that KTR met Kavitha as per this permission granted by the court.

Kavitha’s arrest

Kavitha, a member of the Telangana Legislative Council and daughter of former state chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was produced before Special Judge for ED cases MK Nagpal, on Saturday.

The ED had sought her custody for 10 days.

The ED has alleged that Kavitha is a key member of the “South Group”, which has been accused of paying Delhi’s ruling AAP kickbacks to the tune of ₹100 crore in return for a big share of liquor licences in the national capital.
