The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday sought five more days of remand of BRS MLC K Kavitha in connection with the liquor scam case. Meanwhile, the former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter filed a bail plea in the court.
The central probe agency also informed Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court that searches are underway at Kavitha’s nephew, Mekha Saran’s house.
ED’s lawyer Zoeb Hossain noted that all the conditions for K Kavitha’s remand were complied with, adding that medical examinations had taken place every 24 hours. “Once she had high BP, medication was provided,” Hossain said.
The anti-corruption agency’s representative told the court that the BRS MLC’s statement was recorded along with four others, saying that several other co-accused’ statements were also confronted.
Hossain noted that Kavitha was “confronted” with her mobile data’s forensic report which showed deletion and formatting of data. “She conspired to pay the kickbacks of Rs 100 crores,” he said.
Following the ED’s submission, advocate Nitesh Rana — appearing for K Kavitha — filed for bail plea on behalf of the BRS leader. In response, Hossain said that “At this stage, bail won’t be maintainable,” adding that the “investigating officer is neck deep in probe”.
After hearing both the sides, the court reserved its order on the remand application.
