• BRS leader K Kavitha sent to judicial custody till April 23 by Delhi's Rouse Avenue court
• CBI informs the court that further custodial interrogation of Kavitha is not required
• During her recent custody she was questioned about WhatsApp chats recovered from a co-accused Buchi Babu's phone

The Rouse Avenue court in Delhi on Monday remanded BRS leader K Kavitha to judicial custody until April 23 in connection with the excise policy case. Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, was presented before the court by the CBI at the conclusion of her three-day police custody.

During the court session, the CBI informed that further custodial interrogation of the BRS leader was unnecessary.

Kavitha was initially arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 15 and was subsequently placed in CBI custody until March 23. Following her release, she was arrested once again on April 11 and has since been held in Tihar jail.

During her recent three-day CBI custody, the probe agency officials questioned Kavitha about the WhatsApp chats recovered from a co-accused Buchi Babu's phone and documents related to a land deal, following which an amount of ₹100 crore was allegedly paid to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in kickbacks to swing the excise policy in favour of a liquor lobby.
