Former auditor of k. Kavitha arrested by CBI in Delhi Liquor Policy case

New Delhi: According to allegations made by the Enforcement Directorate and the CBI, violations were carried out during the revision of Delhi’s excise policy with the help of the “South Group” lobby and in exchange for bribes.

A chartered accountant from Telangana who had previously worked with KCR’s daughter K. Kavitha was called to the capital and detained by the CBI in connection with the Delhi liquor policy investigation.

The “South Group” was represented in the case by Butchi Babu, K. Kavitha’s former auditor, according to the CBI.

According to the agency, he was detained on Tuesday night because he was uncooperative and gave evasive answers to questions.

According to the CBI, Hyderabad-based wholesale and retail licensees and their beneficial owners experienced “wrongful benefit” as a result of Mr Babu’s involvement in the creation and implementation of the now-canceled Delhi Excise Policy.

K. Kavitha had already been questioned about the matter by a CBI team in Hyderabad on December 12 for more than seven hours.
