According to the Enforcement Directorate, Kavitha was part of the so called South Lobby, which the probe agency claims received out of turn benefits from the excise policy.
She allegedly paid Rs 100 crore in kickbacks to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in exchange of undue favours in the formulation and implementation of the liqour policy.
Kavitha has denied the allegations, terming her arrest illegal. She had also moved a Delhi court, seeking interim bail but the same was rejected by the court.
