The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a charge sheet against K Kavitha, a leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), in connection with the Delhi Excise policy case. This is the third supplementary charge sheet filed by the CBI in this case. Special judge Kaveri Baweja has scheduled the charge sheet for consideration on July 6.
K Kavitha is currently in judicial custody, with the court extending her custody until June 21. She has been in custody related to investigations by both the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Kavitha was first arrested by the ED in March, followed by her arrest by the CBI in April.
The Enforcement Directorate has also filed a charge sheet against Kavitha in the Delhi Excise policy money laundering case. On June 3, the ED presented a supplementary charge sheet in a Delhi court, indicating that the total Proceeds of Crime (PoC) identified so far amount to Rs 1100 crore. Out of this, Rs 292.8 crore is addressed in the latest prosecution complaint.
The ED has implicated K Kavitha and others in this supplementary charge sheet, connecting them to the Excise policy money laundering case.
As per the ED’s charge sheet, K Kavitha was involved in generating, acquiring, and using PoC amounting to Rs 292.8 crore. This sum includes Rs 100 crore in kickbacks to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and Rs 192.8 crore in profits from Indo Spirits.

The charge sheet states that Kavitha conspired with members of the South Group and AAP leaders through Vijay Nair, who acted on behalf of top AAP leaders, to pay Rs 100 crore in kickbacks and receive undue benefits.
The charge sheet further explains that by forming Indo Spirits, Kavitha participated in the generation of PoC amounting to Rs 192.8 crore. She allegedly presented Indo Spirits as a legitimate business entity, thus projecting the illicit gains as genuine profits from a lawful business.
In addition, Kavitha received Rs 5.5 crore from Indo Spirits through her associate, Abhishek Boinpally.
By paying kickbacks to government functionaries through intermediaries, K Kavitha played a role in generating Rs 100 crore in PoC. She is also accused of participating in the transfer of these funds to government officials.
This intricate conspiracy and financial dealings are detailed in the charge sheet, highlighting her significant involvement in the case.
