Kavitha was arrested by the CBI on April 11 by the CBI from judicial custody where she was because of the money laundering case connected with the alleged Delhi excise scam.
ED had arrested her on March 15 from Hyderabad.
The case against Kavitha and others originated in 2022 when First Information Report (FIR) was registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleging that the Delhi Excise Policy of 2021-22 was manipulated to facilitate monopolisation and cartelisation of wholesale and retail liquor trade in Delhi.
The case was registered under provisions of Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Particularly, it was alleged that certain persons from South India were benefited in the process and some amount of their profits was given to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Enforcement Directorate (ED) is separately probing money laundering allegations in the case.
