Excise policy case: BRS leader K Kavitha moves court opposing CBI plea to quiz her in Tihar

“I have grave apprehension that CBI may not have divulged facts to obtain a favourable order from the court,” he told the court and urged it to keep the order in abeyance until Kavitha’s side is heard.

The court is likely to hear her plea later on Saturday.

On Thursday, 4 April, the Telangana MLC urged the court to give her interim bail on account of her 16-year-old son’s exams for which he needed his mother’s “moral and emotional support”.

Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, has been accused of being a key member of the “South Group”, which allegedly paid the ruling AAP in Delhi kickbacks of ₹100 crore in return for a big share of liquor licences in the national capital. She was sent to 14-day judicial custody last Tuesday.

The ED arrested Kavitha, 46, from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on 15 March.
