Delhi liquor policy case: CBI questions TRS' K Kavitha

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday questioned K Kavitha, daughter of Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, in connection with its probe into the Delhi government's now-scrapped liquor policy.

Kavitha was questioned for over seven hours at her residence in Hyderabad.

She was previously summoned by the federal agency on December 6 for questioning but had expressed her inability to join the probe and sought more time.


Kavitha's alleged role came to light after the Enforcement Directorate named her in a remand paper while seeking custodial interrogation of businessman Amit Arora, who was arrested last month under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

Arora, director of Gurugram-based Buddy Retail Pvt Ltd, is allegedly an associate of Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia. Kavitha has denied allegations of involvement.

In a charge sheet filed last month, CBI alleged Arora and co-accused Dinesh Arora and Arjun Pandey were close associates of Sisodia and were involved in "managing" and "diverting" undue pecuniary advantage collected from liquor licencees, for the accused public servant. The charge sheet, however, did not name Sisodia.
