ED Arrests BRS Leader Kavitha in Delhi Excise Policy Scam

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has made a significant development in the investigation of the Delhi excise policy scam by arresting BRS leader Kavitha. After a day-long raid at her premises in Hyderabad, Kavitha was apprehended and is being transported to Delhi for questioning in connection with a money laundering case linked to the now-defunct excise policy. Kavitha, a prominent figure in Telangana politics and a member of the Telangana Legislative Council, was taken into custody from her residence in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, eliciting reactions from various quarters and raising questions about the alleged involvement of political figures in the scandal.

This latest development comes after Kavitha’s repeated evasions of ED summons, citing protection under a Supreme Court directive. The arrest has sparked controversy, with allegations of premeditated actions and violations of legal procedures. Additionally, the ED’s claims regarding Kavitha’s association with a lobby of liquor traders and alleged kickbacks have further intensified scrutiny on the nexus between politics and business interests, prompting calls for transparency and accountability in governance.
