Raju’s lawyer S. Bharat Kumar said Raju, whose whereabouts were not known since his shocking admission Wednesday of the massive financial fraud, would appear before SEBI officials Saturday.

“Mr Ramalinga Raju is very much in Hyderabad but he has some health problems. He will appear for the hearing tomorrow,” Kumar said.

A team of SEBI officials served the summons at Raju’s residence in the upmarket Jubilee Hills Friday. Raju or his family members were not available.
