TRS MLA K Kavitha on Monday wrote the CBI in connection with the liquor scam and said her name does not figure in the FIR in any manner.

Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter MLC Kavitha was summoned by the CBI as a witness in the liquor case on Tuesday. Soon after receiving the summons, Kavitha wrote to the CBI seeking documents of the case first. "The requested documents may be provided at the earliest to enable me to acquaint myself and answer appropriately within a reasonable period of time. Date of our meeting can be fixed at Hyderabad after the receipt of the documents," Kavitha wrote earlier.
On December 2, the CBI said certain facts have emerged during their investigation into the liquor 'scam' case that Kavitha needs to be acquainted with and hence, her examination was required. As per the notice, the CBI gave her two choices for the place of examination -- Hyderabad or Delhi.
The chargesheet named seven accused, including the AAP's communications chief and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's close aide Vijay Nair and Hyderabad-based businessman Abhishek Boinpally.
