Kavitha was one of main conspirators': HC denies bail to BRS leader in liquor scam case

The Delhi High Court denied bail to BRS leader K Kavitha in two cases related to the alleged Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 scam, stating that she was prima facie a key conspirator in the criminal conspiracy. The court found evidence of her involvement in kickbacks and money laundering activities. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma rejected Kavitha’s plea for bail on the grounds of her being a woman, emphasizing that as a well-educated and former MP, she cannot be considered a vulnerable individual. The court highlighted that the evidence collected by the ED indicated her significant role in the alleged scam, thus denying her bail and rejecting her claims of a politically motivated conspiracy against her.
