Challenging the trial court’s order, the BRS leader filed a bail plea in the High Court. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Kavitha on April 11. Earlier, she was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) from Hyderabad on March 15.
The case against Kavita and others began in 2022 when the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a First Information Report (FIR) alleging that the Delhi Excise Policy for the year 2021-22 was manipulated to facilitate monopoly and cartelisation of wholesale and retail liquor.
According to the CBI and ED, in the process certain businessmen/groups of South India were benefited and a part of their profits were given to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which used it to campaign for the Goa Assembly elections.
