NEW DELHI: BRS MLC
K Kavitha
, whose house was raided by the
Enforcement Directorate
and Income Tax officials, is being brought to Delhi for further questioning, news agency ANI said quoting sources.
According to reports, Kavitha has been taken into custody. A team of ED and IT officials raided the premises of Kavitha in Hyderabad as part of a money laundering investigation. Kavitha and some of her associates are facing a probe for alleged bribes paid in the liquor policy case.
Reacting to the searches, BRS spokesperson Sravan Dasoju alleged that the raids were politically motivated and both BJP and Congress are hand-in-glove to harass leaders of the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led party.
ED has questioned the former Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao's daughter in the past about the bribery allegations and money transfers in the scam, where it was claimed that Rs 100 crore changed hands.
The ED has alleged that the South Group, allegedly controlled by
Kavitha
, Sarath Reddy and Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, bribed the AAP govt to formulate an excise policy to facilitate companies to win bids, form a cartel, and control retail outlets in Delhi. The probe agency has claimed that Kavitha invested money through her benamis and returned the money from the company after getting the licences.
