New Delhi: TRS MLC K. Kavitha, who has been served with a notice by the CBI for interrogation in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam case, claimed on Monday that due to her busy schedule, she will be able to meet the sleuths on December 11, 12, 14, or 15.

Kavitha said in the letter to the CBI, "As proposed by you, I am not in a position to meet on 6th December, 2022, because of my preoccupied schedule. I will be able to meet you either on 11th, 12th or 14th or 15th of this month whichever is as convenient to you at my residence in Hyderabad. Same may please be confirmed at the earliest".
