In association with an anti-money investigation involving suspected errors in the Delhi taxation scheme, the Enforcement Directorate has summoned K Kavitha, daughter of Hyderabad Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, authorities said on Wednesday. On March 9, Kavitha, a 44-year-old MLC for the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party, must appear before a government body in Hyderabad.
She has also been contacted in order to meet with Telangana industrialist Arun Ramchandra Pillai, who the Directorate claimed to be the head of the “south gang” and had been detained on Monday. Pillai “depicted the south group,” a suspected alcohol mafia connected to Kavitha and several others, according to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which had previously made that claim.
The’south gang,’ as reported by the organization, “includes” Kavitha, Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy (a Ruling National MP from Ongole Lok Sabha constituency), Sarath Reddy (supporter of Aurobindo Pharma), and many others. To demand the adoption of the Feminist’s Representation Amendment in the forthcoming Parliamentary session, Kavitha had already stated that she will be in Delhi for a one-day starvation diet to be held at the Jantar Mantar on March 10.
A accusation that has been vehemently denied by the local governing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is that the Delhi administration’s taxation strategy for 2021–2022, which grants permits to liquor merchants, permitted cartelization and preferred specific sellers who were probably paid bribery for it. Afterwards, the program was abandoned, and the Delhi Lieutenant Governor had suggested a Bureau investigation; as a result, the Directorate had opened an investigation underneath the Act for the Prevention of Money Laundering (PMLA).
