The case against Kavitha and others originated in 2022 when a First Information Report (FIR) was registered by the 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.
As per the CBI and ED, certain persons/groups from South India benefited in the process and some amount of their profits was given to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which used the same to campaign for the Goa assembly elections.
Kavitha is one of several political leaders arrested in the case. The others accused include Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and AAP leaders such as Sanjay Singh (presently out on bail) and Manish Sisodia.
The AAP itself has also been made an accused in the case.
