The judge has also extended Kavitha's judicial custody until June 21 in this case.

Meanwhile, a Delhi court is expected to decide on July 6 whether to take cognisance of a supplementary charge sheet filed by the CBI against BRS leader K Kavitha in the corruption case related to the alleged excise scam.

As per the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Kavitha purportedly provided Rs 100 crore in proceeds of crime to AAP leaders as kickbacks in return for "undue benefits," while also receiving Rs 192 crore in profits from a company called 'Indospirits,' which she founded, amounting to a total of Rs 292 crore.

In May 2024, the ED formally accused Kavitha for the first time in its chargesheet. Previously, it had alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had direct involvement in shaping Delhi excise policy which was purportedly tailored to benefit the 'South Group'.

Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was arrested by the CBI in Tihar Jail in April after being detained by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case connected to the alleged scam.

The ED had arrested Kavitha (46) at her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15, and she remains in judicial custody for that case.
