"I will join the police investigation today at 5 PM. I travel by scooter, so I will go. Everyone knows what the police do. Yesterday, I joined the CBI court. How am I running away? The police have given me a notice for investigation until 5 PM today. If they have given me a notice, how can they arrest me? If I don’t go, then they can take action against me. Where is the police searching for me? I was at home only," he said.
