New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday issued a fresh summons to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s daughter and Bharat Rasthra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha to join its ongoing investigation in the Delhi excise policy case on March 20.
The federal agency issued the fresh summons as Kavitha refused to attend the ED interrogation on Thursday citing a pending petition in the Supreme Court. Kavitha did not appear for the third round of ED questioning conveying to the probe agency that the matter is still pending before the apex court.
According to the sources, Kavitha has sent the necessary documents sought by the probe agency through her legal representative.
The ED had summoned her earlier this month to appear before it on Thursday in the Delhi excise scam, alleging that she was a key member of the south cartel.
The BRS leader had approached the Supreme Court for an urgent hearing claiming that as a woman, she cannot be summoned to the ED office, and the probe agency’s representatives must visit her instead.
