New Delhi, March 16
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a fresh summons to BRS leader K Kavitha in the Delhi excise policy money laundering case.
The central agency has asked Telangana MLC and daughter of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to appear for March 20. She skipped Thursday summon citing her pending plea before the Supreme Court where she has sought protection from arrest and quashing of summons in the case, officials said.
Kavitha had on Thursday sent her authorised representative, who happens to be a BRS party office-bearer, who handed over to the investigating officer of the case the representation against her personal deposition along with her bank statement, personal and business details.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear her plea on March 24 seeking protection from arrest and challenging the summons by the ED in this case. The 44-year-old Telangana politician was first questioned in the case on March 11. She was asked to depose again on March 16.
In the letter sent to the ED, Kavitha said that as the summons explicitly did not require her to appear in person and she was sending her “authorised representative”.
