The Enforcement Directorate has sealed the office of Young Indian Limited located in the premises of the National Herald newspaper in Delhi a day after it raided the premises in connection with a money laundering case.
The probe agency said that the office has been temporarily sealed in order to "preserve the evidence" which could not be collected as authorised representatives were not present during the raids on Tuesday.
The rest of the National Herald office is open for use, according to reports.
The notice pasted under signature of the ED investigating officer outside the YI office space said it cannot be opened "without prior permission" from the agency.
