According to the Enforcement Directorate, the NKG firm received the offer on the basis of the certificate issued by NBCC officer Mittal. NKG had booked Mittal's aircraft ticket. The ED informed the court that an investigation is still ongoing in this instance.

The ED revealed an unsigned note sheet was prepared with the DGP and others, stating that NKG had not done any work but had received a tender. There was nothing about NKG in NBCC records.
