The Delhi High Court has sought a response from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on a bail plea filed by K Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, in connection with the Delhi excise scam case.
The case, which originated in 2022, alleges that the Delhi Excise Policy of 2021-22 was manipulated to facilitate monopolisation and cartelisation of wholesale and retail liquor trade in Delhi.
According to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and ED, certain persons or groups from South India benefited from the process, and some of their profits were allegedly given to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which used the funds to campaign for the Goa assembly elections.
The case is registered under provisions of the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The ED is separately probing allegations of money laundering in the case.
The trial court had earlier also denied interim bail to Kavitha in the ED case.
