Narada News CEO requests CBI to relocate questioning venue near his Bengaluru residence

Stating that the two-way train journey between Kolkata and Bengaluru would strain his health, Narada News CEO Mathew Samuel on Thursday requested the CBI to fix a location closer to his home for interactions with its officers.

Samuel, who has been ailing for some time now, said he is "open to discussing" any matter pertaining to the Narada scam.

"I wanted to emphasise that I have already communicated my inability to adhere to the requirement of a six-day train journey back and forth. It is not just a matter of inconvenience; I have legitimate health concerns that prevent me from doing so. The extended period of travel would not only exert undue strain on my health, but also severely impinge upon my professional responsibilities," Samuel wrote in his letter to the CBI.
