BRS MLC K Kavitha was today given bail by the Supreme Court months after she was arrested in the Delhi Liquor Policy Case. She was lodged in jail for 166 days. As many as 493 witnesses were examined. Besides, 50,000 documents of evidence were vetted.
Ahead of the court hearing of the bail petition, both KT Rama Rao and Harish Rao reached the Supreme Court on Tuesday. "The apex court also took strong exception to the Delhi HC's earlier observations that an educated, sophisticated woman is not entitled to bail under the beneficiary provision for women under PMLA," said a report by Bar & Bench.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Bandi Sanjay Kumar has alleged match-fixing by the Congress-BRS duo. In a sarcastic post, he wrote, "Congratulations to the Congress party and its advocates for securing bail for BRS MLC in the infamous liquor Scam. Your untiring efforts finally yielded fruits. This bail is a win for both BRS and Congress — the BRS leader is out on bail and a Congressman gets to Rajya Sabha. Remarkable political acumen by KCR in supporting the candidate, who initially argued for bail, to be nominated to Rajya Sabha unopposed by the ruling Congress. Congratulations to the partners in crime who wine and dine."
