In a setback for Kavitha, a leader of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), a Delhi court has extended her judicial custody till May 20 in connection with the Delhi liquor excise policy case. This decision comes after her bail applications were dismissed by the court.
Kavitha’s judicial custody in both cases, investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has been extended till May 20. She will continue to be held in Tihar Jail.
The recent dismissal of bail applications by the court means that Kavitha will remain in custody. Advocates Nitesh Rana, P. Mohith Rao, and Deepak Nagar represented her in court, but the pleas for regular bail were denied.
While being taken to Tihar Jail, Kavitha expressed her disappointment, calling it an injustice. She highlighted discrepancies in treatment, mentioning other political figures who have not faced similar legal actions.
The court’s decision follows the investigation into Kavitha’s role in the excise policy case. The ED argued against granting bail, citing concerns about potential tampering.
Kavitha’s case is part of a broader investigation into alleged irregularities related to the excise policy. The court has been actively handling matters related to this case, including the custody of other accused individuals.
The extension of Kavitha’s custody aligns with ongoing legal proceedings in the ED and CBI cases. The court’s decision underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the legal scrutiny surrounding them.
As Kavitha’s custody is extended, the legal battle continues, highlighting the complexities and consequences of the investigations into the Delhi liquor excise policy case involving political figures.
