BRS Leader K. Kavitha Hospitalized for Tests

K. Kavitha, a senior leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Member of Legislative Council (MLC), has been hospitalized in Hyderabad for medical tests, with results expected today. Her health has been a concern since her incarceration in Tihar Jail related to the Delhi Excise Policy case, where she suffered from gynecological issues and high fever. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested her on March 15, 2024, followed by a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrest on April 11, 2024, based on allegations of irregularities in the excise policy. Recent developments include the ED filing a supplementary chargesheet against Kavitha and others, alleging violations of multiple laws in the excise policy's modification. Despite her ongoing legal issues, the Supreme Court granted her bail on August 27, noting the lengthy nature of the trial, which involves 493 witnesses. Kavitha is the daughter of K. Chandrasekhar Rao, the BRS chief and former Chief Minister of Telangana.
