New Delhi: A Delhi court on Wednesday took cognizance of a supplementary chargesheet filed by the ED against BRS leader K Kavitha and others in a money laundering case related to the alleged excise duty scam.
Special judge for ED and CBI cases Kaveri Baweja said the Enforcement Directorate's version of the charge sheet in the prosecution's complaint "contains sufficient prima facie evidence against the accused."
The judge issued a production warrant for June 3 for Kavitha, daughter of Telangana MLC and former state Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. He is in judicial custody in the case and is currently lodged in Tihar Central Jail.
The excise case relates to alleged corruption and money laundering in the formulation and implementation of the now-expired excise policy of the Delhi government for 2021-22.
Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena had recommended a CBI inquiry into the alleged irregularities. Subsequently, the ED registered a case on August 22, 2022, based on the CBI FIR registered on August 17 the same year.
