On Monday, a Delhi Court turned down a plea for interim bail filed by jailed BRS leader K Kavitha.
Earlier, the lawmaker from Telangana had requested the court on April 4 to extend her interim bail on account of her 16-year-old son’s exams for which he needed his mother’s moral and emotional support.
The judge had reserved the order on the plea for today. Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, has been accused of being a key member of the South Group, which allegedly paid the ruling AAP in Delhi kickbacks of Rs 100 crore in return for a big share of liquor licences in the national capital.
She was sent to 14-day judicial custody. Meanwhile, the BRS leader, arrested in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam, on Saturday moved a city court requesting it to recall its order allowing the CBI to interrogate her in Tihar jail.
The CBI is investigating the corruption angle in the excise policy case. Kavitha’s advocate Nitesh Rana told the court that the CBI stopped the due process of law by filing a plea seeking permission to question her behind her back.
