Liquor scam: Kavitha’s CA arrested by CBI

A week after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed the supplementary charge-sheet in connection with the Delhi Liquor Scam, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a key person.

In a statement, the CBI said, “Hyderabad based Chartered Accountant by name Butchibabu Gorantla has been arrested for his alleged role in formulation and implementation of Delhi Excise Policy and causing wrongful gain to Hyderabad-based wholesale and retail licensees and their beneficial owners, South Group.”

Butchibabu Gorantla is believed to be a former aide of BRS MLC Kalvakuntal Kavitha Rao. Apparently the CBI had questioned Butchibabu on Tuesday but he did not cooperate with the investigation and so they arrested him. The CBI will produce him before court on Wednesday.

The CBI is likely to seek the custody of Butchibabu for deep questioning and extract the information that can unfold the alleged Delhi Excise Policy scam.
