During the investigation, the role of the accused, Kavitha has surfaced not only in the collection of upfront money but also in the transfer of ill-gotten money to Goa through the Hawala channel, stated CBI.
Kavitha's lawyer argued that she is the only woman among the 50 accused in the excise case and requested the court to consider granting her bail, as the law treats women differently.
"K Kavitha conspired with the members of the South Group and the AAP leaders through Vijay Nair (who was acting on behalf of the top leaders of the AAP) to pay kickbacks to the tune of Rs 100 Cr and receive undue benefits", the ED chargesheet said.
Rao in his confession said that “Pedayanna” (KCR) was very angry after his plan to trap the BJP failed. Radha Kisan Rao refused to reveal further details of the plan saying that he “owes a lot to KCR”.
