Sahara chief Subrata Roy today said he is not absconding and is ready to "unconditionally follow" whatever direction the Supreme Court gives him today.

In a statement issued today, Roy said that he had gone out of Lucknow yesterday to consult doctors regarding the health of his mother. Saying that he was still in Lucknow, Roy said he has "already informed police to do their duty".

A team of Lucknow police on Thursday had raided the house of Roy to execute the Supreme Court’s non-bailable arrest warrant against him but had failed to find him.


Roy also appealed to the Supreme Court to allow him to be with his "ailing mother under house arrest till March 3, 2014", while adding that he was ready to reach Delhi even today, if court wants him to do so.

Issuing a non-bailable warrant against Roy, the Supreme Court on February 26 asked the police to arrest and present him before the court on March 4.
