Delhi excise policy case: CBI to question Kavitha in Hyderabad today
Hyderabad: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will question Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader Kalvakuntla Kavitha in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case on Sunday in Hyderabad.
The questioning will be held at Kavitha’s Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad.
A day before the questioning of the TRS leader by the CBI, several posters with the slogan “daughter of fighter will never fear” were seen in Hyderabad.
“We are with Kavithakka”, read the posters.
Kavitha, daughter of the Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Tuesday said she would be available for questioning at her residence at 11 am on December 11 in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case.
Kavitha’s response came after CBI wrote a letter to her stating that it would visit her residence at 11 am on December 11 and record her statement in connection with the case.
Kavitha had earlier written to the probe agency seeking deferment of summons, slated on Tuesday, to anytime between December 11 and 15 (except 13) because of her preoccupied schedule. The CBI had earlier summoned her on December 6 in connection with the case.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia is one of the accused in the case. The new Excise Policy of the Delhi government was scrapped after Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena recommended a CBI investigation into the matter.
The charge sheet submitted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Delhi’s liquor scam did not name the deputy chief minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia who was mentioned in the FIR in the connection with the scam.
The charge sheet named seven accused, including AAP’s communications chief Vijay Nair and Hyderabad-based businessman Abhishek Boinpally.
