K Kavitha, a BRS lawmaker, has been implicated in the alleged Delhi liquor policy scandal, as per a supplementary chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday. The ED accuses her of erasing data from eight mobile phones and indulging in luxury accommodation during the investigation.

According to the ED, Kavitha, along with the 'South group', purportedly conspired to pay ₹100 crore to Delhi's ruling AAP in exchange for liquor licenses. Furthermore, she allegedly orchestrated the acquisition of a stake in Indo Spirits, a beneficiary of the payment, resulting in substantial profits.

The agency alleges that the kickback amount was routed illegally to Goa for AAP's election expenses. Kavitha and other 'South group' members are accused of forming Indo Spirits to launder the proceeds of crime, resulting in inflated profits through stocks from Pernod Ricard India.

In its chargesheet, the ED claims a direct loss of ₹581 crore to the Delhi government due to these actions. Kavitha, listed as Accused No 32, faces allegations of tampering with mobile phones, despite denying any formatting or data removal.

The ED contends that Kavitha's release on bail could jeopardize the investigation into the complex conspiracy. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) also opposed her bail plea, citing her influence and alleged threats to witnesses.

Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was arrested in March and denies involvement, attributing her arrest to political vendetta orchestrated by the BJP and the ED.
