The ED filed charge sheets against the three accused without arresting them during the investigation.
Kavitha is in judicial custody for the two cases related to the alleged scam, which were filed by the ED and the CBI.
Following her arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15, Kavitha who was held at Tihar Jail was arrested by CBI on April 11.
The scam relates to purported corruption and money laundering surrounding the development and execution of the Delhi government’s excise policy for the fiscal year 2021-22, which was eventually revoked.
