ED raids on the relatives premises of Kavitha:- ED officials carried out searches at the homes of close relatives of K Kavitha, a leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), as part of an investigation into a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. The searches began early in the morning at an apartment building in Madhapur, where one of Kavitha's relatives resides. It is believed that the information provided by Kavitha during her questioning in the custody of the ED led to these searches. The central agency is now examining the potential involvement of these close relatives in the case. Additionally, the ED had previously interrogated two personal assistants of the BRS leader and confiscated their mobile phones, suspecting their involvement in erasing data from the devices.

Kavitha, who is the daughter of BRS President and former Telangana Chief Minister KC Rao, was arrested by the ED in Hyderabad on March 15. She was then transported to Delhi and placed under the custody of the ED. Her custody is set to end on Saturday (March 23), and she will be presented before a trial court later in the day. They instructed her to file a petition with the trial court regarding the matter. The ED has accused Kavitha of being involved in the 'South Group', which is said to have illicitly given Rs. 100 crore in kickbacks to AAP leaders. The partners of the 'South Group' were reportedly granted a 65 percent ownership in Indospirit.
