46-year-old Kavitha is facing serious allegations of money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam. The ED has alleged that she was a key member of the ‘South Group’ which has allegedly paid Rs 100 crores as kickbacks to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in return for a big share of liquor licenses in the national capital. 

During the last hearing, Special Counsel for ED Zoheb Hossain argued that Kavitha has conspired with other people and is actively involved in the payment of kickbacks to the tune of Rs 100 crore. He claimed that she is involved in establishing the money laundering ecosystem i.e. M/s Indo Spirits through her proxy which generated proceeds of crime of Rs 192.8 crore.

Meanwhile, Nitesh Rana, the counsel of Kavitha, has moved the bail application for her.
