New Delhi, Mar 11: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha over eight hours on Saturday in connection with money laundering investigation in an alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of (now-scrapped) the Delhi excise policy, sources said.
Kavitha appeared before the agency after being summoned by the ED. This development comes after arresting a Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Ramchandra Pillai.
On Thursday, ED arrested former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia after several hours of questioning inside Delhi’s Tihar Jail in an ongoing probe of a case related to alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had arrested Sisodia on February 26 after allegedly not cooperating during questioning at CBI headquarters here related to alleged Delhi excise policy scam. He was lodged in Tihar Jail.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged that BJP has a motive to eliminate the opposition parties. “The alleged accused in the case got bail but Manish Sisodia didn’t get bail. ED has also arrested him after filing a case. BJP is eliminating the opposition parties by playing agency-agency,” AAP MP Raghav Chadha alleged in a press briefing.
