According to sources, the Directorate of Enforcement has called Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha to participate in the investigation into the Delhi Excise policy case on Friday. More than a dozen individuals who were involved in the scam’s cash transactions were also summoned, according to the sources. Earlier this year in March, the ED called Telangana CM K Chandrashekhar Rao’s daughter K Kavitha in connection with the investigation into the case involving the Delhi liquor policy. She was previously called to appear before the ED in the Delhi Excise Scam after it was claimed that she was a vital component of the South Cartel.
Kavitha, who is a member of the Telangana Legislative Council, was questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the same case in December last year.
ED has so far filed five charge sheets in the case, including against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia.
ED submitted its initial chargesheet in the case last year. According to the agency, it has so far conducted nearly 200 search operations in this case after filing an FIR and taking cognizance of a CBI case that was opened on the lieutenant governor of Delhi’s recommendation. According to officials, prima facie evidence of violations of the GNCTD Act 1991, Transaction of Business Rules (ToBR)-1993, Delhi Excise Act-2009, and Delhi Excise Rules-2010 was presented in the Delhi Chief Secretary’s report, which was submitted in July of last year.
