‘You’re In Serious Trouble’: KTR’s Heated Exchange With ED Officials Over Kavitha’s Detention — Video

BRS MLA KT Rama Rao was seen engaging in a war of words with the ED officials over the arrest of party MLC and KCR's daughter K Kavitha.

KCR's Daughter Kavitha Arrested: Following the arrest of BRS MLC and former Telangana CM KCR's daughter K. Kavitha in the Delhi liquor scam case on Friday, party MLA KT Rama Rao was seen engaging in a heated war of words with the officials of the Enforcement Directorate. The BRS MLA slammed the officials of the probe agency over the arrest of Kavitha, saying that they are in serious trouble as they have violated the undertaking given by them in the Supreme Court. 

KT Rama Rao said, "You (ED officials) have given an undertaking in the Supreme Court, and now you are violating it. You are in serious trouble.”

According to sources, Kavitha is being brought to Delhi by the ED. The arrest of the BRS MLC comes after the probe agency raided her premises in Hyderabad on Friday as part of a money laundering investigation.

Last month, the Supreme Court had extended protection from arrest to Kavitha till March 13 in connection with the alleged scam. The probe agency had issued her a fresh summons on February 21 to appear on February 26. However she did not appear in the case.

On February 25, responding to the summons issued to her, Kavitha had written to the CBI, saying that she would not appear before it for questioning in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam. The BRS MLC has refused to appear on summons twice. Kavitha had skipped the recent summon, citing important public engagements and a petition pending before the top court.

The ED has alleged that one of the accused in the case, Vijay Nair, received kickbacks to the tune of at least Rs 100 crore from the "South Group" (allegedly controlled by Sarath Reddy, Kavitha and Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy) on behalf of leaders of the AAP.
