The UK has frozen foreign accounts allegedly belonging to Peter and Indrani Mukerjea in connection with a money laundering and corruption probe case against them.
Government sources said authorities based in london have informed Indian investigating agencies about the freezing of certain bank accounts related to the former media baron couple.
They said the United Kingdom (UK) authorities took the action subsequent to some letters Rogatories (lRs) sent to them.
It is understood, they said, that the lRs were sent by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after consultations with the CBI, in connection with its probe against the duo, INX media and others.
