The Boeing India emailed the PMO in November last year to enquire about the claims made by Singh.
"As mentioned over the call, one Aniruddh Singh kept calling our office Executive Secretary from his mobile and claims that he works for one Jitendra Kumar who is a special assistant of PK Mishra. He keeps referring to some defence bids that we have submitted in MoD and that he has orders from some higher-ups for us to meet with PK Mishra and Amit Shah. We request you to kindly look into this matter. In the meantime, we have advised our team members to neither respond nor acknowledge any phone calls or messages from this person," the Chief of Staffs and Boeing India e-mail read.
