ITC chief executive officer, Nazeeb Arif, has said the company has filed a complaint with the Kolkata Police cyber crime section and Shakespeare Sarani Police Station. He also claims that the company has a strong IT department and enough ability to resist such frauds.

CO Kolkata cyber-crime defender, Sant Santuuopopadhyay has said that these fake website builders have tried to use the logo and name of the company's ITC director, making it look and win the trust of the people.

Many people think that this is the work of rival companies to lower the reputation of the company. But when asked, Arif said that this is impossible to confirm or guess who did this. He only expects those whoever did it to bear the consequences of their wrongdoing.

Network security investigators are trying to look for an IP address to find out who made the misbehavior. The police are also investigating whether people have been duped by this fake website.
