In a sensational development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested the ex-Chartered Accountant (CA) of K Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) in connection with the Delhi Liquor Scam.
The arrested person, Butchibabu, is alleged to have been involved in the formulation and implementation of the Excise Policy in Delhi that has caused wrongful gain to two Hyderabad-based wholesale and retail licensees and their beneficial owners.
The CBI has registered a case against Butchibabu and others for criminal conspiracy, cheating, and forgery of valuable security and for criminal misconduct.
The investigation agency has already conducted searches at multiple locations in Delhi and Hyderabad in connection with the case.
This is not the first time KCR has been linked to a scam. Earlier, his son and IT Minister K T Rama Rao was also linked to a multi-crore land scam in Telangana.
