The high court had ordered freezing the balance of $6.122 million (Rs 44.41 crore) on the request of the ED on grounds that deposits in the bank account were made from "proceeds of crime" illegally siphoned-off by Nirav Modi from the Punjab National Bank, it said.
The agency had attached this bank account in Singapore as part of a provisional order issued last year under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and the same was confirmed by the Adjudicating Authority of the law in March this year, it said.
Last week, four Swiss bank accounts, holding deposits of over Rs 283 crore, of Nirav Modi, and his sister were similarly "frozen" by authorities in Switzerland as part of the money laundering probe being conducted against them in India.
