The CBI has called out to Nirav Modi directing him to join the investigations next week.
Meanwhile, the Investigation bureau added that it did not know Modi's whereabouts. The agency earlier said he left India in January before the $2 billion fraud, which also involves a firm controlled by his uncle Mehul Choksi, came to light.
