Officials said that Khan was served notice to appear before the SIT officials at Nagina police station after he had skipped the earlier appearance on August 31 on health grounds.

When asked about sending notice a third time for appearance, Kumar said, “We will now take legal opinion on the matter from higher authorities,” he said.
