Today, the Rouse Avenue court in Delhi decided to prolong the judicial custody of K Kavitha, a prominent figure in the BRS leadership, concerning her involvement in the Delhi liquor policy case.
The Court extends her custody until April 23.
K Kavitha, recognized as the daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, was apprehended on March 15 by the Enforcement Directorate. This agency is actively probing the potential money laundering aspects linked to the purported scandal.
The Central Bureau of Investigation, which initiated the initial inquiry into the liquor policy case, has been granted permission to interrogate K Kavitha within the confines of the jail.
In a letter addressed to the court, Ms. Kavitha expressed her concerns regarding the investigation conducted by central agencies, which she described as a "media trial". She emphasized that this ongoing scrutiny has adversely impacted her reputation and infringed upon her privacy.In a letter addressed to the court, Ms. Kavitha expressed her concerns regarding the investigation conducted by central agencies, which she described as a "media trial". She emphasized that this ongoing scrutiny has adversely impacted her reputation and infringed upon her privacy.
"I'm a victim. My personal and political reputation has been targeted. My mobile phone is displayed on all television channels, directly invading my privacy," she said in the letter which was read out in the court by her lawyer.
"I have cooperated with the agencies and given all the bank account details. I will hand over all the mobile phones which the ED claim that I have destroyed," the letter said.
Previously, the court had declined to allow K Kavitha to directly address the court, instructing her to submit her requests in written form instead.
In her letter, Ms. Kavitha criticized the BJP for what she perceived as the misuse of central agencies, alleging that they are often used against opposition leaders. She pointed out a trend where investigations conducted by agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) tend to abruptly halt when the accused individuals join the BJP, insinuating a political bias in these investigations.
Upon exiting the court, the BRS leader remarked that the case against her would not withstand scrutiny over time. She emphasized that the case relies solely on statements and is politically motivated. Addressing reporters, she asserted, "This is a case completely based on the statement. It is a political case. This is a case of targeting the opposition parties."
