The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday arrested BRS leader K Kavitha in connection with a corruption case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy, reports said.

Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was already under judicial custody in Delhi’s Tihar jail after her arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case linked to the excise policy.

CBI officials had recently questioned Kavitha inside the prison after obtaining permission from a special court. Kavitha was reportdely questioned about the WhatsApp chats recovered from co-accused Buchi Babu’s phone and documents related to a land deal, after which an amount of Rs 100 crore was allegedly paid to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in kickbacks to swing the excise policy for the national capital in favour of a liquor lobby.

The ED had arrested the BRS leader from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15.
