Kavitha will remain in Tihar Jail till May 7

Delhi, New: The Rouse Avenue Court on Tuesday extended the judicial custody of BRS MLC K Kavitha till May 7, meaning she would remain in the Tihar Jail for a further 14 days. Within sixty days, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) promised to produce a charge sheet for the case.

Tuesday marked the conclusion of the judicial custody that the ED and the CBI had been pursuing, as Kavitha was presented by the investigative agency before Judge Kaveri Baweja of Rouse Avenue Court. Based on previously established justifications, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have requested that Kavitha and the Enforcement Department (ED) be placed under 14 days of detention. Regarding Kejriwal, the ED has made it abundantly evident that he is the chief conspirator and kingpin, and that he has the ability to taint the evidence.

The authorities conducting the inquiry said that they were close to wrapping up and that this was a pivotal point in the whole process. They continued by stating that they would file a charge sheet in the Delhi Liquor Policy case within sixty days. The roles played by Arvind Kejriwal and Kavitha were crucial, and they shouldn’t be released on bond.

The ED has been instructed by the court to set up Kavitha’s video conference appearance on May 7. Kavitha’s judicial custody has been extended until May 7 by the court, which has accepted the pleas from the ED and the CBI. After being detained by the ED on March 15, Kavitha was formally registered as arrested by the CBI on April 11 while she was still in judicial custody.

The bail petition regarding Kavitha’s ED arrest was examined at Tuesday’s session. On April 23, arguments were made on behalf of the ED, and advocates made arguments on behalf of Kavitha. Joeb Hussain represented the ED, while advocate Nitesh Rana defended Kavitha’s interests. On April 24, Kavitha’s advocates are scheduled to submit their counterarguments in response to the ED’s arguments.
