K. Kavitha's Bail Plea Rejected in Money Laundering Case

A Delhi court has rejected the regular bail plea of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K. Kavitha in connection with the money laundering cases linked to an alleged excise policy scam. Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, is currently in judicial custody until May 7.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja of Rouse Avenue Court made the decision on Kavitha's pleas. She was initially arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and later by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on April 11 while in Tihar Jail. The court had emphasized the necessity of a thorough interrogation of the accused.

Kavitha has claimed that her arrest was politically motivated, accusing the ruling party of orchestrating it to hinder her election campaign. She denies any involvement in the excise policy and alleges that investigative agencies are being used to tarnish her and her father's reputation.

In her bail application, Kavitha cited her medical condition, hypertension, as a reason for release, highlighting the need for medical attention post-arrest. She argues that the CBI's case relies on statements from approvers as part of a larger conspiracy against her.

The court's decision comes amidst a backdrop of allegations and political implications surrounding Kavitha's arrest, adding complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings.
