New Delhi, May 10: In response to a bail petition filed by Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Leader K Kavitha in the money laundering case involving the Delhi’s excise policy case/ liquor scam, the Delhi High Court on Friday issued notice to the Enforcement Directorate.

K Kavitha has also filed a bail request in the Delhi High Court over the CBI case, which is expected to be heard on Monday. Previously on May 6, the Rouse Avenue Court had denied bail to her in both instances.

Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma’s bench set May 24, 2024, for comprehensive arguments on the case.

K Kavitha’s bail plea cites family strain and lack of evidence

In her bail plea, K Kavitha emphasized that she is a mother of two children, one of whom is currently a minor undergoing medical care due to shock. Kavitha further claims in her new bail application that there have been efforts by members of the ruling party at the Centre to implicate her in the scandal.

In her bail plea, K Kavitha contends that the Enforcement Directorate’s case relies solely on statements from witnesses, approvers, or co-accused under Section 50 of the PMLA. She highlights the lack of corroborating documents in the Prosecution Complaints, stressing the absence of any evidence directly linking her to the alleged offenses.
