Delhi Police summons leaders across seven states, including Nagaland over doctored Amit Shah video

The Delhi Police has summoned around 16 leaders, including Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, to seven states, in connection with a doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

A doctored video of Amit Shah was circulated on social media where his statement indicating a commitment to abolishing reservation quotas for Muslims in Telangana, was changed to make it seem that he was advocating scrapping of all reservations.

One Samajwadi Party Lok Sabha candidate in Uttar Pradesh and two Congress leaders in Rajasthan and Nagaland have also been asked to appear before police with their mobile phones, according to sources.

The Special Cell has also sent police teams to Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Nagaland, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh as a part of an ongoing probe into the matter.

Earlier, on Monday, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy along with four Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) members — Shiva Kumar Ambala, Asma Tasleem, Satish Manne, and Naveen Pettem were summoned to appear before police on May 1.

A case has been registered under Sections 153, 153A, 465, 469, and 171G of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 66C of the Information Technology (IT) Act.

The Delhi Police on Sunday registered an FIR after two complaints were received by police, one from the BJP and another from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). Following this, the Delhi Police Special Cell Cyber Wing’s IFSO unit filed an FIR.

A report was attached with the complaint containing details of links and handles from which the doctored videos of the Home Minister are being shared.
