THE JHARKHAND STORY DESK
New Delhi, May 6: In connection with cases filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding the Excise policy/ liquor scam, the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi rejected the bail requests filed by Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha on Monday.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja issued the ruling, stating that the bail petitions for both the ED and CBI cases were rejected.
K Kavitha was represented in the case by senior lawyers Dr Abhishek Manu Singhvi and Vikram Chaudhari, and advocates Nitesh Rana, Mohit Rao and Deepak Nagar.
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.

K Kavitha alleges political motives behind investigation
K Kavitha said in her plea that the ruling party in the Central government is openly linking the petitioner to the Delhi Excise policy through the use of investigative agencies, in order to justify more coercive measures against her.
“The political masterminds are well aware that if the petitioner can be connected to the alleged scam, it will bring her, and by logical implication, her father, the erstwhile Chief Minister of Telangana, into disrepute. The political mileage gained from such actions can be used in the general elections scheduled for 2024. This is the sole and singular motive of the purported investigation. This is political propaganda at its shameful lowest, even by the not-so-high standards in Indian politics,” the bail plea of Kavitha said.
