The BRS leader landed in Delhi from Hyderabad late evening. She was summoned by the ED to depose before it on March 9.
Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao's politician daughter K Kavitha on Wednesday said she will appear before the Enforcement Directorate on March 11 in connection with a money-laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy.
Kavitha Kalvakuntla (44), a Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC, declared this in a late-night post on her official Twitter handle.
"I will be appearing before the Enforcement Directorate in New Delhi on March 11, 2023," she said.
The BRS leader landed in the national capital from Hyderabad late evening. She was summoned by the ED to depose before it on March 9.
Ms. Kavitha has been called by the agency so that she can be confronted with Hyderabad-based businessman Arun Ramchandran Pillai, an alleged frontman of the "south group", who was arrested by the ED on Monday.
The agency will record Ms. Kavitha's statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) during this confrontation.
Mr. Pillai is in ED custody and the agency had earlier said he "represented the south group", an alleged liquor cartel linked to Kavitha and others.
