Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader K Kavitha on Tuesday, March 26, was remanded to 14-day judicial custody in the Delhi excise policy scam case. Special Judge Kaveri Baweja passed the order after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) did not seek an extension of her custodial interrogation.
She was sent to seven-day ED custody on March 16 and it was extended by three days last Saturday.
During the proceedings, Kavitha's advocate Nitesh Rana sought interim bail on the grounds of her minor son's exam.
The federal probe agency was earlier allowed by Special Judge Kaveri Baweja to interrogate Kavitha in custody.
The ED has alleged that Kavitha, the daughter of former Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, was a key member of the 'South Group' that has been accused of paying the AAP kickbacks of Rs 100 crore in return for a big share of liquor licences in the national capital.
The 46-year-old was arrested by the central probe agency on March 15.
