New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has named Dr. Anil Kumar, husband of BRS MLC K Kavitha, in connection with the Delhi liquor scam. The ED filed a third supplementary prosecution complaint before the designated court for Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002 cases, in which Anil Kumar's name was mentioned twice. According to the complaint, Kavitha's former chartered accountant Butchibabu Gorantla, who later became an approver in the case, revealed that Anil Kumar was a partner in Engrowth Capital, a firm that purchased land at a significantly discounted rate from the market rate. Gorantla alleged that Kavitha directed him to coordinate the paperwork for her purchase of a 25,000 sq ft property from Srihari, the former COO of Phoenix Real Estate Group. The market value of the property was ₹1760/sq ft, whereas Kavitha allegedly paid only ₹1260/sq ft. Gorantla's statement on March 28th also revealed that he bought property from Srihari in the name of Engrowth Capital.
