    Reportedly, Yadav was previously summoned by the CBI for interrogation on March 4 but had not appeared before the investigators. As a result, a fresh date was issued for Saturday.

    Yadav was asked to appear for the interrogation on Saturday forenoon. However, an official told the news agency PTI that the RJD leader has not shown up at the CBI headquarters in Delhi yet.
