CBI team reaches BRS MLC Kavitha's house for questioning in Delhi liquor scam case

Hyderabad, December 11

A team of CBI sleuths arrived at the residence of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter and BRS MLC K Kavitha here on Sunday, to question her in connection with the ‘Delhi excise policy scam’.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had last week informed Kavitha that a team from the premier investigating agency would visit her residence in the city on December 11 for examination.

Kavitha, who has been served a notice by the CBI for recording her statement in connection with the case, recently said she would be able to meet the officials from December 11-15 (except for 13th).

The probe agency issued the notice under Section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and asked her to intimate the place of residence as per her convenience for the “examination” at 11am on that day.

Under Section 160 of the CrPC, the investigating officer can summon any person as witness in a particular case.

After her name cropped up in a remand report filed by the Enforcement Directorate in a Delhi court on the alleged kickbacks in the ‘scam’, Kavitha had said she was ready to face any probe.

The CBI on November 25 filed its first charge sheet in the case against seven accused.
