The Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday forwarded to Interpol an Enforcement Directorate request to issue a red-corner notice against former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi in a money-laundering case.
A red-corner notice is issued to arrest a person wanted in another country and extradite him or her.
“We are the nodal agency for all communications with Interpol. The Enforcement Directorate’s request has been forwarded to Interpol through us,” a CBI official said.
On August 11, the Directorate sent the request to the CBI on the basis of a non-bailable warrant against Mr. Modi.
