A Correct answer
Explanation

This question lacks a reference date. The Director General of NSG (National Security Guard) is a position that changes periodically. Without specifying the year or time period, it's impossible to verify who held the position at the referenced time. The name 'G.K Dutta' appears to be a typo, and this question seems to be from around 2008-2009 based on context.
