The Bharat Rashtra Samithi Leader K Kavitha has moved the Rouse Avenue court to give directions to the Tihar Jail administrator to allow her to have home-cooked food and mattresses. The plea by the daughter of former chief minister K.C Rao states that it is necessary for the health of the applicant that she be allowed home-cooked food and provided with a mattress.
Kavitha also requested the jail superintendent at Tihar to allow her to bring her spectacles and japa mala into the facility. The plea further states that she seeks the Tihar authorities’ direction to provide various items such as slippers, bedsheets, books, blankets, pens, paper sheets, jewellery, medicine, and more during her time in judicial custody. Despite the court’s order dated March 26, 2024, none of the items specified by the court were provided or permitted for the applicant to carry. The plea highlights that she was not even allowed to bring her spectacles and japa mala into the jail.
Acknowledging the complaint, Special Judge Kaveri Baweja requested a response from the Tihar Jail authorities and scheduled a hearing for March 30, 2024. Advocate Nitesh Rana, along with Mohit Rao and Deepak Nagar, represented K Kavitha in this matter.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha was remanded to judicial custody until April 9, 2024, by the Rouse Avenue Court. She was recently arrested in connection with a money laundering case linked to Delhi’s excise policy. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested K Kavitha MLC from the Telangana Legislative Council on March 15, 2024, regarding the Delhi Liquor Policy Scam case. A search was also conducted at K Kavitha’s residence in Hyderabad on the same day. During the search, ED officials were reportedly obstructed by K Kavitha’s relatives and associates, as stated by the ED in a statement.
