A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Note the accuracy part is NOT subject to perjury. So if you're an agent for a copyright holder (even if the copyright is for completely different content), then the perjury part does not apply. The civil penalties do apply.

A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Since the Indian site was not the owner of the allegedly infringed content, the complaining party could be subjected to perjury. However, there is an easy defense - the complaining party (or the owner) could say, "oops, I thought the site was infringing other content, which I do own the copyright to". Note that the perjury part applies to the authorization, not to the accuracy of the information in the notification. Overall, the "under penalty of perjury" part is pretty much toothless.
Recording the Proceedings. Except while the grand jury is deliberating or voting, all proceedings must be recorded by a court reporter or by a suitable recording device...
Seeing as how subsection iv uses the same language:
(iv) an operator of a recording device;
Clearly the "recording device" in 6(e)(2)(B)(iv) mentioned is the same as the one in 6(e)(1). It should be pretty clear that (iv) was meant to apply to the person running the audio or video recorder when the proceedings are recorded instead of (or in addition to) using a court reporter.
