HYDERABAD: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha asking her to present herself before it on Friday in connection with the ongoing money laundering probe into the Delhi Government’s (scrapped) liquor policy case.
Kavitha was earlier questioned by the ED in March about her role in the liquor policy scam. A Hyderabad businessman Arun Ramachandra Pillai who was arrested in March in connection with the same case turned into an approver on Thursday, a day before Kavitha was to be questioned.
It was reported that Ramachandra Pillai gave his statement under Cr. P.C section 164 and divulged crucial information about the scam. The ED has described Ramachandra Pillai as a ‘benami’ for Kavitha. ED sleuths have earlier conducted several rounds of searches at his residence.
So far Kavitha’s auditor Buchibabu, Sarathchandra Reddy, Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, Magunta Raghava, Dinesh Arora and Ramachandra Pillai have turned into approvers in the liquor scam case.
