The Enforcement Directorate on Friday arrested Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter K Kavitha in connection with an alleged money laundering case linked to the Delhi liquor policy scam.
The 45-year-old politician was arrested hours after Enforcement Directorate officials raided her Hyderabad residence earlier in the day.
"What they (ED officials) informed us in the house is that we will take you (Kavitha) to Delhi by 8.45 pm flight. It appears that they had decided to take her into custody and even booked a flight ticket for Kavitha even before they came here," Reddy said.

However, Enforcement Directorate had earlier argued that the BRS leader had obtained a temporary relief from the top court last year, but it is not valid now.

"Additionally, a copy of the grounds of arrest, containing 14 pages, has also been served upon her," it added.

The BRS MLC, however, has maintained that she had done no wrong and instead accused the BJP-led Central government of 'misusing' the central agencies in order to get a 'backdoor' entry into Telangana.
