K Kavitha News: The two central agencies, CBI and Enforcement Directorate, came in for some sharp criticism over the "fairness" of their investigation, with the Supreme Court observing "Sorry to see this state of affairs".
K Kavitha, in jail since March over alleged corruption and money laundering charge in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case, was released from jail on Tuesday evening, hours after Supreme Court granted conditional bail to the Telangana politician.
The top court said 46-year-old Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader's custody was no longer required as both the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) have completed their probe against her.
"The appellant (Kavitha) is directed to be released forthwith on bail ... on furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs 10 lakh in each of the cases," the bench said, while allowing her appeals against the July 1 verdict of the Delhi High Court which had denied her bail in the two cases.
