Excise policy case
Excise policy case: BRS leader K Kavitha’s judicial custody was extended by Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on Tuesday until April 23 in the money laundering case related to the excise policy.
On charges of money laundering, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained her in Hyderabad on March 15. This Tuesday, she was placed under 14 days of judicial custody.
The agency informed the court on Tuesday that judicial detention was necessary because Kavitha had attempted to manipulate the witnesses and tamper with the evidence.
Additionally, ED has filed a request to extend the BRS leader’s 14-day judicial custody.
The event occurred after Kavitha’s motion for temporary release in the case was denied by a Delhi court on Monday.
Nitesh Rana, Kavitha’s attorney, had claimed that the CBI had circumvented the legal process by requesting authorization to question her “behind her back.”
The CBI requested additional time to respond to Kavitha’s plea, and as a result, the next hearing in the case was set for April 10.
However, Kavitha was not given any temporary respite in the ED or CBI proceedings by special judge Kaveri Baweja.
