In the urban expanse of New Delhi, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has dispatched a summons to K Kavitha, a luminary within the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). The directive mandates her presence on February 26, entwined with the CBI’s labyrinthine examination into the labyrinth of corruption that permeated the Delhi excise policy for the annals of 2021-22, as divulged by those well-versed with the unfolding scenario on this midweek day.

Kavitha, progeny of the erstwhile chief helmsman of Telangana, K Chandrasekhar Rao, found herself under the scrutiny of the anti-corruption behemoth in December 2022. A parallel odyssey ensued under the auspices of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), orchestrating a fiscal inquisition in March 2023.

In response to the recent entreaty from the CBI, Nitesh Rana, the legal custodian of K Kavitha, stoically rebuffed any commentary.

The investigative tapestry endeavors to unveil Kavitha’s orchestration within the policy’s tapestry and the whispered specter of pecuniary inducements. It is posited that Kavitha maintained correspondence with AAP’s erstwhile communication doyen, Vijay Nair. This liaison purportedly unfolded during convocations with magnates of the spirituous trade and political luminaries, amidst the gestation and execution of the now-extinguished policy.

The panoptic investigatory agencies proffer assertions that Sameer Mahendru’s Indospirits Group, domiciled in the metropolis of Delhi, commandeered multifarious retail demesnes under the imprimatur of the excise policy. A prelude to this pecuniary convocation alludes to kickbacks amounting to Rs.100 crore, ostensibly funneled by the alleged South Group. In this clandestine consortium, Kavitha stood as a notable member, in concert with AAP leaders.
