Hyderabad: Security was heightened near the residence of Telangana Rashtra Samithi MLC K Kavitha hours ahead of her questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy scam case on Sunday.
Amid this, security has been beefed up outside Kavitha’s Hyderabad residence, where she will be questioned by the CBI. Police have put up barricades and no one is allowed to move near the premises.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter was served notice by the CBI on December 2 after her name came up in a remand report filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a Delhi court on the alleged elicit payments in the scam.
Although the central agency had asked her to meet at a place as per her convenience for the “examination” on December 6, Kavitha said she won’t be able to make an appearance before December 11 due to her preoccupied schedule.
Responding to the CBI notice, the TRS MLC said she would be able to meet the officials from December 11-15 (except on 13th).
“As per the investigation carried out so far, Vijay Nair, on behalf of leaders of AAP has received kickbacks to the tune of at least Rs 100 crore from a group, called South Group (controlled by Sarath Reddy, Ms K Kavitha, Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy) by various persons including Amit Arora,” the ED had said in the remand report filed on one of the accused, Amit Arora, in a Delhi Court.
