K Kavitha walked out of Tihar Jail late Tuesday evening, hours after the Supreme Court granted her bail in corruption and money laundering cases.
Ranchi: BRS leader K Kavitha, who was arrested in March early this year, was released from Tihar Jail after she was granted bail in the Delhi excise policy case by the Supreme Court today.
K Kavitha walked out of Tihar Jail late Tuesday evening, hours after the Supreme Court granted her bail in corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
"I want to thank all of you. I became emotional after meeting my son, brother and husband today after almost 5 months. Only politics is responsible for this situation. The country knows that I was put in jail only because of politics, I did not make any mistake I will fight...," Kavitha said.
BRS workers and supporters who had gathered outside the jail to welcome her played drums and burst crackers as she stepped out of the prison complex. Kavitha's brother and BRS working president KT Rama Rao was also present.
Kavitha, 46 was released from Tihar's jail number 6 where she was lodged for nearly five months.
The Enforcement Directorate had arrested her from her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad on March 15 and the CBI had arrested her from Tihar jail on April 11.
While granting bail on Tuesday, an apex court bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan noted that Kavitha had been in custody for around five months and the probe against her by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was complete in these cases.
