A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of BRS leader K Kavitha until July 3 in connection with a money laundering case tied to an alleged excise scam. Special Judge Kaveri Baweja ordered the extension after Kavitha was presented in court following a previous production warrant.

This warrant was issued on May 29 when the court took cognizance of a charge sheet against her.

Additionally, the court granted bail to three co-accused individuals—Prince, Damodar, and Arvind Singh—who had been charge-sheeted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) without arrest during the investigation.

Kavitha remains in judicial custody for two cases filed by the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) related to the purported scam. The scandal involves allegations of corruption and money laundering in the creation and execution of the Delhi government's 2021-22 excise policy, which was later revoked. The ED arrested Kavitha at her Hyderabad residence on March 15, followed by her arrest by the CBI at Tihar Jail.
