The Rouse Avenue Court on Tuesday sent Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha to judicial custody till April 9. She was arrested recently in connection with the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja, while sending her to Tihar Jail for 14 days, also fixed hearing on her interim bail plea for April 1, 2024.

Kavitha appeared in the court through Senior Advocate Vikram Chaudhari along with Advocates Nitesh Rana, Mohit Rao and Deepak Nagar.

She had moved an interim bail application, citing that examinations of her 16-year-old son are about to begin.

Enforcement Directorate, while requesting that the court send her to Judicial custody, stated that the arrestee (Kavitha) is highly influential and there is every likelihood that the arrestee will influence the witnesses and tamper with the evidence if released, which may hamper the ongoing investigation.
