Delhi Police’s Special Cell on Sunday informed that it has taken action against individuals responsible for circulating a doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, falsely suggesting his stance on reservations.

The FIR targets certain handles on social media platforms, which reportedly edited Shah’s statements to falsely suggest that the minister argued for the termination of reservations in the country.

‘Fake video on reservation’

This action comes a day after BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya Telangana Congress wing is spreading an edited video, which is completely fake and has the potential to cause large-scale violence.

Delhi Police’s Special Cell has intensified efforts to track down individuals behind these handles across the nation. Early arrests are anticipated, with even those who deleted the videos coming under the radar of investigation.

“Home Minister Amit Shah spoke about removing the unconstitutional reservation given to Muslims, on the basis of religion, after reducing share of SCs/STs and OBCs. This fake video has been posted by several Congress spokespersons, including likes of @asmatasleem13 and others. They must be prepared for legal consequences,” Amit Malviya said in a post on April 27.
