New Delhi: On Tuesday, the judicial custody of BRS leader K Kavitha extended by Delhi court till April 23 in the money laundering case in connection with the Delhi Excise policy. K Kavitha after the court extended judicial custody to ED said,”This is a case completely based on the statement. It is a political case. This is a case of targeting the opposition parties. CBI has already recorded my statement in jail.”
The matter was heard at the court by Special CBI Judge Kaveri Baweja. The probe agency, while seeking 14-day custody, argued before Rouse Avenue Court that Kavitha made attempts to influence the witnesses and tampered with evidence.The court had earlier reserved its order on interim bail of Kavitha for April 9.
