The accused claimed that they are associated with Avon Cycles through a mediator and can help them in getting a big contract. And for it, they demanded a share. They also had a letterhead of Avon Cycles and addressed a letter to Batx Energies along with some payment vouchers. However, the staff took pictures of the documents they produced for verification.”
