Subsequently, the Delhi government withdrew the policy. However, on the recommendation of the Lt. Governor, the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate are investigating the case separately. Tests were conducted at various places in this regard.
In this case, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was arrested on February 26 in the CBI office for questioning in connection with this case. He then resigned from his post. He is now lodged in Tihar Jail. Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and a member of the state Legislative Council, has also been accused in this case.

In this case, in connection with this case, a summon was sent to Kavitha to appear for investigation at the Delhi Enforcement Department office on March 9. However, as she is going to participate in the protest to be held in Delhi on the 10th to insist on the Women’s Reservation Bill, she had written a letter to the Enforcement Department expressing her desire to appear for the hearing on the 11th.
It seems that the enforcement department has accepted his request. According to this, Kavita will appear at the Delhi Enforcement Department office tomorrow. It has been alleged that South Group is involved in this scam. In this company, businessman Arun Ramachandra Pillai and many others are shareholders. Arun Ramachandra Pillai, who is considered to be Kavitha’s surrogate, was arrested a few days ago. The authorities have recorded his statement. In this case, the authorities are planning to question Kavita based on that.
Prepared for Inquiry: Meanwhile, Kavita, who has gone to Delhi, told reporters yesterday, “We are not afraid of all this. We didn’t do anything wrong. We are ready to face the investigation,” he said.
