Later, Shaw made a lasting impression on Gupta by calling Gupta to visit him in Bhubaneshwar and taking him in a car having red-beacon light and sticker of Ministry of Home Affairs pasted on it.

During this travel, Shaw discussed with Gupta about the projects related to Reliance Industries (Mumbai) with plant at Dhenkanal, Odisha and Essar Power Ltd, plant at Champa Chhattisgarh, for iron scrap business.

According to the police, when cops verified from the MHA about Shaw, it was found that there is no IAS officer named Joy Shaw who holds the post of Assistant Director in MHA.

Based on the Aadhaar card which the accused presented at one of the hotels in Delhi, police found out that his real name is Mukesh. It was further verified from the office of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDIA).
