Part of ‘South Group’ that paid kickbacks
In its chargesheet, the ED has alleged that Kavitha was part of the “South Group” that had paid Rs 100 crore in kickbacks to AAP leaders in exchange for undue benefits under the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
According to sources, the searches were conducted at her residence on Friday morning in connection with the Delhi excise policy case, in which Kavitha has been named an accused, and she was arrested there later. The development took place after the I-T Department and the ED had issued several notices to her to appear before them to record her statement in the case.
