Delhi Excise Policy case: K Kavitha writes four-page letter amid ongoing custody

K Kavitha After After Court Extended Juidicial Custody In Delhi Liquor Policy Scam

NEW DELHI: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha, arrested in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, has released a four-page letter after a Delhi court extended her judicial custody to April 23. In her letter, Kavitha stressed that she has neither any involvement nor financial benefits with the case.

In her letter, released to the media, Kavitha described herself as a victim, highlighting that the “never-ending ED/CBI investigation” of the past two and a half years had turned into a media trial. She specifically pointed out how her personal mobile phone number was displayed on all television channels, directly invading her privacy.

Calls for Judicial Intervention

Questioning the abuse of power, Kavitha said that at least 95% of the cases lodged by the ED or CBI are against the opposite leaders and if the accused joins the BJP, the investigation abruptly ends.

Addressing the fire situation on the floor of the parliament where the BJP leaders openly threaten the opposition, saying, “chup ho Jao, warna ED bejunga,” the BRS MLC said the “opposition is looking up to the judiciary with great hope” to give them respite.

‘Make or break year for my son’

Requesting the court to grant her bail, the BRS leader said that as a highly qualified person, she understands the importance of her role as a mother. Claiming her 16-year-old son has exams and needs her “moral and emotional support,” Kavitha wrote, “it is a make or break year for my son, from the education perspective,” while requesting bail “once again”.

K Kavitha was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15 after a search was conducted at her residence in Hyderabad. On Monday, a Delhi court denied interim bail, saying prima facie she not only destroyed evidence but was also instrumental in influencing witnesses, and there is “every likelihood” of her continuing to do so if the relief is granted.
