Leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), K. Kavitha, joined the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) investigation into the Delhi Excise Policy fraud case on Saturday. Her statement would be documented in accordance with section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act when she arrived at the ED office at 11.05 a.m. Her evidence will be recorded by a female deputy director level officer.
Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, was asked to participate in the investigation on Thursday but requested additional time in a letter, thus her interrogation was put off till Saturday. She protested in Jantar Mantar on Friday, stating that she had never met former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and that her name was being brought up in the controversy unnecessarily.
Kavitha is also one of the South Group representatives, which the ED claims paid AAP officials a payment of Rs 100 crore. The Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Pillai, who was detained on Friday, may face the BRS leader because he is also a member of the South Group.
