No, foreign property or bank accounts cannot be attached under Section 88 CrPC merely because a person has been declared a Proclaimed Offender under Section 87. The attachment power is limited to property within the territorial jurisdiction of the court. For foreign assets, separate international legal processes must be invoked.
