has been placed under police surveillance, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday , ratcheting up pressure on the embattled developer whose outlook has already darkened significantly this week.

The company rattled markets afresh when it said on Sunday it could not issue new bonds as part of its offshore debt restructuring plans because of a regulatory investigation into its main Chinese unit, Hengda Real Estate.
