The scam came to light after the complainant, Kunal Merchant, received an email from a person who identified himself as Vivek Kumar, private secretary to PM Modi. The contents of the email are about Kumar asking Merchant to design and build a table which would be installed in the prime minister’s office for PM Modi’s personal use.
Merchant approached the police and lodged a complaint. Now, the matter will be investigated by the Delhi Police’s Cyber Cell.
