Delhi liquor scam:
BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha was arrested in March this year in connection with the Delhi Liquor Scam. Currently, she is in remand at Tihar Jail, having been denied bail multiple times by the Rouse Avenue court. Mahabubnagar Congress MLA Yennam Srinivas Reddy recently stated that Kavitha is likely to turn approver in this case soon.
Speaking at the CLP office, Yennam accused Kavitha’s father, KCR, of violating constitutional ethics to prevent her from becoming an approver. This statement was surprising as Kavitha had consistently denied any involvement in the scam, asserting that she would emerge from jail as an “unblemished pearl.”
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has labeled Kavitha as the mastermind behind the Delhi Liquor Scam, which took place in 2021-22. The ED has also argued against granting her bail, suggesting that she could influence others involved in the case if released.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and AAP leader Manish Sisodia are also primary accused in this scandal, both currently serving their jail terms at Tihar.
