Summary
A Mumbai court rejected Purvi Modi's plea for a video conference statement. The court stated an accused cannot dictate investigation procedures. Her physical appearance was deemed necessary for the ongoing fraud investigation. The court noted her past conditional pardon required her return to India. Purvi Modi's conduct suggests no genuine intention to submit to court jurisdiction.
