As per the annual returns for 2018-19 of Monal Infraprojects, the email and telephone numbers of Aman Singh Bisht are mentioned. One of the directors of the company is Chandrashekhar Singh Bisht, who is the cousin brother of Aman Singh Bisht.
As per the complaint filed by Supreme Court lawyer Vishwanath Chaturvedi, a company named Piscesia Power Transmission made several transactions with Monal Infraprojects and Monal Infraventures and amounts in several lakhs were transferred. The complaint was sent to the Income Tax Department with copies to CBI and ED.

Piscesia Power Transmission has four directors: Manoj Kumar Singh, who is a childhood friend and classmate of Prateek Yadav, Vivek Yadav, a close contact of Yadav family hailing from Etawah, Prashant Singh and Euy Don Park.
