A local court in Delhi on Monday extended K Kavitha’s judicial remand to July 3 because of the ongoing money laundering case in relation to the alleged excise scam.
Kavitha was produced before the court in compliance with its earlier order issuing a production warrant as per Section 167(2) CrPC, and Special Judge Kaveri Baweja granted custody for further interrogation until December 10.
These warrants were issued by the court after a chargesheet was filed by the police in the case against the BRS leader on May 29.
The cooling of the case also affected the court’s decision that three co-accused persons, namely Prince, Deodar, and Arvind Singh, were granted bail.
Two of them are the sons of Lalu Prasad, and all three of them have been charged by the ED without their arrest during the investigation.
Kavitha is presently in judicial custody for the two cases filed by BOTH ED and CBI for the alleged scam.
The “scam” relates to the Delhi government’s alleged corruption and money laundering in the preparation and execution of the new excise policy for the financial year 2021–22, which has been dumped.
The ED has arrested the MLC on charges of FEMA offenses in connection with the case on March 15, when it raided her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad. Finally, the CBI arrested her from Tihar Central Jail.
