In a case involving money laundering, the Enforcement Directorate has taken BRS head K Kavitha into custody. The daughter of former Telangana chief minister Chandrashekar Rao, K Kavitha, is a BRS MLC. The ED raided her Hyderabad home on Friday.
MLA Harish Rao of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) appeared at K Kavitha’s home. The K Kavitha will reportedly be brought to the nation’s capital, ANI, for more interrogation.
K Kavitha was allegedly connected to a “South Group” network of alcohol dealers who hoped to gain more influence under the since-canceled Delhi excise scheme for 2021–2022, according to the ED.
Reacting to the searches, BRS spokesperson Sravan Dasoju alleged that the raids were politically motivated and both BJP and Congress are hand-in-glove to harass leaders of the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led party.
“Wherever ( Prime Minister Narendra) Modi goes ED and IT ( Income Tax) either precedes or succeeds. That is what is happening in Telangana. They want to create a panic situation in the BRS. The ED and IT which are working at the behest of BJP are not bothered about the Congress leaders of Telangana who have illegally obtained so much wealth,” the BRS leader told PTI.
The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that one of the accused in the case, Vijay Nair, received kickbacks to the tune of at least ₹100 crore from the “South Group” (allegedly controlled by Sarath Reddy, Kavitha and Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy) on behalf of leaders of the AAP.
