The date was confirmed earlier by Mahesh Jethmalani, advising Modi, saying March 27 was mutually agreed date on which Modi would appear before the SIT.

Modi is unlikely to be questioned at the SIT's office on old secretariat campus in Gandhinagar due to security reasons, sources in government had said.

SIT has summoned Modi to depose in connection with a complaint of Zakia Jaffery, widow of former Congress MP Eshan Jaffery who was killed in Gulburg Society riot in 2002 along with 69 others.
