"The fake summons that are being sent out might look real because they have a Document Identification Number (DIN), but these DIN numbers are not issued by DGGI in the case of these entities.

The Additional Director further said that Gupta is impersonating himself as an Group-B, Intelligence officer of DGGI, and has issued fake summons "with an intention to harass/hound Sarita Prajapat, Manoj Kumar Garg and now Sita Alloys Pvt Ltd and also to malign the image of this prestigious organisation".
"Further, it is to inform that, presently this office has received representations from these three firms only, there is possibility that he has issued summons to numerous other firms.
