K Kavitha Bail : BRS leader K Kavitha, who was lodged in Tihar Jail for five months in the excise policy case, came out of jail on Tuesday evening. The Supreme Court had today ordered the release of K Kavitha on bail. A bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Vishwanathan said that Kavitha's custody is no longer needed as she has been in custody for more than five months and the investigation of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) against her in these cases has been completed.

On the other hand, BRS leaders welcomed K. Kavitha outside Tihar Jail. During this, she said, we have become emotional after meeting our family after five and a half months, but only politics is responsible for this situation. The whole country knows that I was in jail only because of politics. It was not our fault, we will fight and prove ourselves innocent. She said, we are fighters, we will fight legally and politically.

As soon as he came out, he hugged his son

After coming out of jail, Kavitha looked very emotional. She hugged her son as soon as she came out of Tihar Jail. During this, her husband and brother KTR were also present. Let us tell you, while granting bail to Kavitha, the Supreme Court said that since 493 witnesses are to be examined in both the cases and 50,000 pages of documents are to be considered, there is no possibility of the trial ending in the near future. Therefore, the appellant (Kavitha) is directed to be released on immediate bail on a bond of Rs 10 lakh in each case.

The arrest was made on March 15

The ED arrested Kavitha (46) from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15. The CBI had arrested her on April 11 in a corruption case linked to the alleged scam. Kavitha, daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, has been accused of being part of the 'South Group', an alleged gang of businessmen and politicians who allegedly paid a bribe of Rs 100 crore to Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party in exchange for liquor licences. Kavitha has been continuously denying these allegations.
