A special court sent her to the CBI custody till April 15.
With court’s permission, Rama Rao met his sister for half an hour at the CBI headquarters.
Kavitha, 46, a member of the Telangana Legislative Council and daughter of former state chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, was lodged in Tihar jail under judicial custody after the ED arrested her in Hyderabad on March 15.
