{{/usCountry}}According to officials, the CBI inquiry was recommended based on the findings of the Delhi chief secretary's report filed in July showing prima facie violations of the GNCTD Act 1991, Transaction of Business Rules (ToBR)-1993, Delhi Excise Act 2009, and Delhi Excise Rules 2010.
The ED also filed a supplementary prosecution complaint (chargesheet) in the excise policy case against Kavitha and the other accused, Chanpreet Singh, Damodar, Prince Singh, and Arvind Kumar.
In July, the Delhi high court had dismissed Kavitha's bail pleas, saying she was prima facie one of the main conspirators in the criminal conspiracy. However, on August 12, the Supreme Court asked the probe agencies to file their responses to her plea challenging the Delhi court's order.
Kavitha was granted bail in both the cases - ED and CBI - on August 27.
