Fernandez was stopped at the Mumbai Airport by the immigration authorities on December 5 while she was on her way to Delhi. The authorities were acting on a Look Out Circular (LoC) issued by the ED against her as it feared that she might flee the country. She was quizzed at the Mumbai airport for hours and then let go. On Monday, the ED once again sent her summons to join the ongoing probe.

The next date in the charge sheet matter is December 13. The ED officials were tight-lipped over the matter.
