The Congress filed a complaint with the CBI on Monday demanding that it impound TRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavitha’s passport and alert all airports in India to prevent her from leaving the country.

Telangana Congress General Secretary Bakka Judson filed the complaint at the Hyderabad CBI office citing the notice issued by the CBI’s New Delhi office to Kavitha.Judson said that the CBI is scheduled to question Kavitha on December 6 at 11 am to examine her in connection with the case RC 53(a)/2022 of CBI/ACB/Delhi.

He said in his letter that Kavitha is trying to buy time and so that she can bail herself out of the case.Kavitha had addressed a letter on December 3 requesting the CBI to provide copies of the complaint OM No.14035/06/2022-Delhi-I Dated July 22, 2022.

Judson mentioned in his letter that Kavitha has now submitted another letter dated December 5, 2022, indicating her pre-planned schedule and has proposed to meet either on December 11, 12, 14 or 15.

Kavitha also indicated in her letter sent on December 5 that this is without prejudice to her legal rights available as per law.“In this connection, I am wondering why the CBI is indifferent towards some persons involved in the same case. How can a law-abiding citizen that too an MLC try to delay the investigation process by citing her pre-planned schedule? Will the CBI give the same facility to others named in the case? This is nothing but a clear plot hatched by the TRS and the BJP government at the Centre for “negotiating” to bail Kavitha out of the Delhi liquor scam case which is rocking the country,” Judson said.

He said that the Supreme Court has aptly criticised the CBI as a “caged parrot speaking its master’s voice,” due to these double standards as per the diktats of the Centre.“If the CBI is really serious in examining Kavitha, then it should examine her on December 6 at 11 am as per the notice and not give in to her delaying tactics to get a gag order from court restraining the CBI from questioning her,” Judson said.

In a statement issued after filing his complaint with the CBI, Judson told TRS cadres that the CBI will not arrest Kavitha.He also told Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar not to declare stating that the BJP will send the KCR family to jail. He said the SIT served notice on BJP General Secretary BL Santhosh under Section 160 of Cr.PC and it was served to Kavitha too under the same Section.He said that this clearly shows that the TRS and the BJP are actually bhai-bhai.
