Mr. Mahendra Kumar,

No option. You are obliged to attend the CBI investigation. The matter of suitability of date is different. You may request for change of date, but still that depends upon the discretion of the CBI to agree to your request. Please be aware, investigation by the CBI is not subject to your own convenience.

Every citizen is bound to cooperate to the police/investigating agencies in the investigation of crime. Even if you are not involved, have to appear before the investigating officer and have to cooperate him.

You are welcome Mahendra Kumar ji.

Although you are no way involved in any wrong doing and may the date given be not suitable to you, but your cooperation with the CBI in their investigation, even by compromising with the prevailing circumstances mey help clear any of their doubt about your involment. Even their summons to call you may be merely for some clarification about some information, which you may be expected to have.
