A CBI team recorded the statement of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, at her Hyderabad residence in connection with the Delhi excise policy case on Sunday. The CBI team took her statement for more than seven hours. The CBI officers arrived at Kavitha’s Banjara Hills residence in the mokrning. Kavitha’s legal team had reached her residence before the CBI officers arrived. The BRS – formerly the Telangana Rashtra Samithi – had asked party leaders and workers not to gather outside the house or on the street to protest and had appealed to them to maintain law and order. Security was also strengthened in the area as a precautionary measure. On December 2, the CBI had issued a notice to the MLC 0, asking her to join the probe in connection with its investigation into alleged corruption in the Delhi government’s now-withdrawn excise policy.
