Enforcement Directorate Raids BRS MLC K Kavitha’s Residence in Hyderabad Amid Delhi Excise Policy Scam Probe.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a raid on Friday, March 15, at the Banjara Hills residence of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha as part of the ongoing investigation into the Delhi excise policy scam. Reports indicate that searches are ongoing, with ED officials seizing mobile phones belonging to Kavitha and her associates during the operation.
The ED is also conducting searches in multiple other locations across the city in connection with the same case. Kavitha, who had been summoned by the CBI regarding the Delhi Excise Policy case, requested a postponement of the notice due to the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Previously, the Supreme Court had extended protection for Kavitha until March 13 in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, as per the Enforcement Directorate’s investigation. During earlier summonses, Kavitha was presented with statements from her former chartered accountant, Butchibabu Gorantla, and Arun Ramchandra Pillai. While Butchibabu was arrested by the CBI in February, Pillai was arrested by the ED in March of the previous year.
Kavitha has consistently denied all allegations made against her in this case.
