Versova police officers investigating the case said that Gupta and Balaji Motion Pictures allegedly misused the commissioner's letterhead and rubber stamp to send invitations for the press conference that was held on Wednesday evening at Mehboob Studios in Bandra. 

Nandkumar Mhetar, senior inspector of Versova police station, confirmed that the director, the production house as well as a Bollywood movie portal glamsham.com were being accused of forgery and cheating. "The invitation cards printed by the production house contain the imprint of the commissioner's rubber stamp, and also mentions that the commissioner will be conducting the press conference to speak on the crime rates in the city."

Sanjay says, "I am not aware of this (case). As far as we are concerned, it was nothing more than an innovative and creative marketing thing. It was an invitation sent only to the media and not to any public. In any case, the summons-style invitation has a disclaimer stating that this is not a real summons and is purely for publicity and promotional purposes."
