Today, the Supreme Court directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to present evidence proving BRS leader K Kavitha's involvement in the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.

The bench, consisting of Justice B.R. Gavai and Justice K.V. Viswanathan, was reviewing Kavitha's bail applications in connection with corruption and money laundering cases being investigated by these agencies.

Senior Counsel Mukul Rohatgi, representing Kavitha, argued for her release on bail, stating that the investigations by both agencies have concluded. He also referenced the Supreme Court's decision to grant bail to AAP leader Manish Sisodia, a co-accused in the same cases.

Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju, representing the investigating agencies, accused Kavitha of tampering with evidence by destroying or formatting her mobile phone. Rohatgi dismissed these claims as "bogus," challenging the agencies to provide concrete evidence of her involvement in the alleged crime.

The Supreme Court had previously sought responses from the ED and CBI regarding Kavitha's challenge to a Delhi High Court order from July 1, which had denied her bail, labeling her as a key conspirator in the alleged scam involving the now-repealed Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22. Kavitha, arrested by the ED in Hyderabad on March 15 and by the CBI on April 11, has consistently denied all allegations
