The investigation of Delhi Excise policy scam also known as Delhi liquor scam is going through a lot of twists and turns with each passing day.In a recent development,the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials on Tuesday wrote to the Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha stating that they would open the mobile phones deposited by her.The ED authorities wanted either Kavitha to attend or send her representative to the ED office.Kavitha has sent her party man general secretary Soma Bharat to the ED office.
BRS leader Kavitha’s representative appeared before ED to assist in extraction of data from her mobiles.It is to mention here that the Supreme Court on Monday tagged with other pleas, the petition of BRS leader K Kavitha seeking protection from arrest and challenging the summons by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case arising out of the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
A bench of justices Ajay Rastogi and Bela M Trivedi said it will hear the petitions of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and others after three weeks.Senior advocate Kapil Sibal informed the bench that a similar plea filed by Nalini Chidambaram, a senior advocate and wife of Congress leader P Chidambaram, is pending on a similar issue of summoning of women accused by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju said after filing of Nalini Chidambaram’s petition, a judgement was passed by a three-judge bench upholding the provisions of the Prevention of the Money Laundering Act, which squarely covers the provisions for summoning an accused.The bench said it would be appropriate if all the petitions are heard together, and listed the matter after three weeks.
The Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) and Bharat Rashtra Samithi(BRS) are at loggerheads for some time.The parties are aggressively targeting each other on every issue.
We have seen a poster fight between the parties in Telangana.The fight continued further with the Delhi Liquor Scam.
Telangana Chief Minister KCR’s daughter Kavitha is one of the accused in the case and this increased the political heat.Kavitha said that the agencies are after the BRS leaders.
During the investigation, the ED said in its report that Kavitha used many phones and some of them were destroyed.Kavitha responded to the allegations and showed a few Mobile Phones.
Before entering the ED office, she flashed the mobile phones.With this, many wanted to know what is inside the phones and what key evidence they possess.
