The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has sought an Interpol notice against former IPL chairman Lalit Modi in connection with its probe in a money laundering case. Quoting officials PTI report that the agency's Mumbai branch moved for a Red Interpol notice against Lalit Modi on the basis of a non-bailable warrant issued recently by a special court. <br/><br/>Sources said the agency has sought the global notice as domestic legal remedies to serve its earlier issued Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) notice on Modi had not met with any success even as the ED alleged that Modi did not cooperate with it in this probe till now. <br/><br/>The ED later forwarded the legal request to the CBI head office in Delhi to get a notice issued through the latter's Interpol wing. A CBI spokesperson said the request was received this afternoon from the ED and it will be processed after due verification. <br/><br/> CBI is the nodal agency for Interpol related affairs in India. Once the Red notice is sounded, the Interpol seeks to arrest the person concerned in any part of the world and notifies that country to take his or her custody for further action at their end.
