Central Bureau of Investigation Accuses BRS Leader K Kavitha in Delhi Excise Policy Case
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has formally accused BRS leader K Kavitha of exerting pressure on Aurobindo Pharma’s promoter, Sharath Chandra Reddy, to pay ₹25 crore to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for securing retail zones in Delhi’s liquor market. In a special court hearing, the CBI sought Kavitha’s custody, stating that she threatened to harm Reddy’s business if he failed to comply. The court has remanded Kavitha in CBI custody until April 15.
During the proceedings, the CBI detailed that Kavitha, also the daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, promised Reddy business assurances in exchange for substantial financial contributions to AAP. Allegations further include that Reddy was coerced into a land sale deal in Telangana under duress from Kavitha, deepening the controversy surrounding the scrapped Delhi excise policy.
The political implications of the case are growing, with AAP claiming that the accusations are part of a broader political vendetta by the BJP. This complex case ties into broader allegations of corruption and political funding irregularities, involving multiple political figures and significant sums of money.
