Court dismisses bail applications of BRS leader K. Kavitha in corruption and money laundering cases probed by CBI and ED.
A court here on Monday dismissed the bail applications filed by BRS leader K. Kavitha in corruption and money laundering cases being probed by the CBI and ED in connection with the alleged excise policy scam.
Special Judge for CBI and ED, Kaveri Baweja, dismissed the applications, saying the stage was not right to grant the relief.
Kavitha is in judicial custody in both the cases lodged by the ED and the CBI.
The ED arrested Kavitha ,46, from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15, and she was in judicial custody in the case.
The CBI arrested the Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader from judicial custody.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
