New Delhi:

A Delhi court today extended the judicial custody of BRS leader K Kavitha till April 23. She was arrested on March 15 in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case.

In a letter to the court, Ms Kavitha said the central agency’s investigation – which she called a “trial by media” – had damaged her reputation and invaded her privacy.

“I am a victim. My personal and political reputation has been attacked. The presence of my mobile phone on all TV channels is a direct violation of my privacy,” she said in a letter read by her lawyers in court.

Ms Kavitha said: “I have cooperated with the relevant agencies and provided all bank account details. I will hand over all mobile phones that the ED claims I have destroyed.”

As she left court, the BRS leader said the case against her “will not stand the test of time”.

“This is a case based entirely on representations. This is a political case. This is a case against the opposition party,” she said.
