When CP Plus personnel and their vendors sought clarification, Gupta allegedly issued verbal threats of dire official consequences.

Vendors provided heavily discounted estimates, but ultimately halted work due to mounting harassment and coercion. A complaint was filed with the PMO.Subsequent verification by the PMO established that no individual named Manish Kumar has ever served as a joint secretary at the PMO.
