Officials have stated that K. Kavitha, the leader of the Telangana-based political party BRS, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the national capital on Monday for the second round of questioning related to the money-laundering case connected to the Delhi excise policy.
Following her initial questioning on March 11, K. Kavitha, who is the 44-year-old daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC), was summoned for a second round of questioning on March 16 in connection with the money-laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy.
Kavitha, however, skipped the deposition citing her pending plea for relief against the ED action in the case.
The federal probe agency rejected her claims and asked her to depose on March 20.
According to reports, K. Kavitha spent approximately nine hours at the ED office during her first round of questioning on March 11. She was reportedly confronted with statements made by Arun Ramchandran Pillai, a Hyderabad-based businessman who has been arrested in connection with the case and is believed to have close ties with her, along with those of a few other individuals linked to the case.
The BRS MLC’s statement was recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Kavitha has asserted that she had done nothing wrong.
