Telangana MLC K Kavitha Arrested in Delhi Liquor Policy Scam, Alleged AAP Collusion Unveiled
New Delhi : The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) Headquarters office has made a significant arrest on March 15, 2024, detaining BRS MLC K Kavitha in connection with the Delhi Liquor Policy Scam. The Special PMLA Court in New Delhi has extended her custody for ED interrogation until March 23, 2024, following an order dated March 16, 2024. Additionally, a search was conducted at K Kavitha’s residence in Hyderabad on the same day, during which ED officials encountered obstruction from her relatives and associates. ED’s investigation has revealed alleged collusion between K Kavitha and top leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), including Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, to manipulate the Delhi Excise policy formulation and implementation in exchange for favors.
It’s alleged that Rs. 100 Crore was paid to AAP leaders in return for these favors. The corruption and conspiracy surrounding the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 reportedly led to illegal funds flowing to AAP from wholesalers as kickbacks. The investigation has spanned 245 locations across the country, resulting in the arrest of 15 individuals, including AAP members Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Vijay Nair. The ED has filed one Prosecution Complaint and five Supplementary Complaints in the case so far.
