They have taken her away from here, ED has taken her from here. The case is sub-judice, posted before the court on 19th March...K Kavitha has also responded to the summons that have been sent - it is election season and she has to campaign. So, when the hearing is on the 19th, what is the haste? PM Modi is in Hyderabad and you want to arrest her. What do you want to show? There is no evidence and no cash has been seized. The allegations are baseless. BJP and Congress are trying to intimidate BRS. We will explore the legal options before us and fight. We trust the judiciary. The truth will come out

White House encourages House GOP to 'move on' from Biden impeachment effort
President Joe Biden's top White House lawyer is encouraging House Speaker Mike Johnson to end his chamber's efforts to impeach the president over unproven claims that Biden benefited from the business dealings of his son and brother. White House counsel Ed Siskel wrote in a Friday letter to Johnson that testimony and records turned over to the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees have failed to establish any wrongdoing and that even Republican witnesses have poured cold water on the impeachment effort. It comes a month after federal prosecutors charged an ex-FBI informant who was the source of some of the most explosive allegations with lying about the Bidens and undisclosed Russian intelligence contacts. "It is obviously time to move on, Mr. Speaker,” Siskel wrote. “This impeachment is over. There is too much important work to be done for the American people to continue wasting time on this charade.” The rare communique from the White House counsel's office comes as Republicans, their House majority shrinking ever further with early departures, have come to a near-standstill in their Biden impeachment inquiry. Johnson has acknowledged that it's unclear if the Biden probe will disclose impeachable offenses and that “people have gotten frustrated” that it has dragged on this long.
