Provisional attachment under the second proviso to section 5(1) is upheld where the officer records specific reasons to believe non-attachment would frustrate proceedings; the commentary rejects the appellant's excessive-attachment claim, noting FIR allegations are investigatory starting points and quantum of proceeds requires separate ED inquiry.
