Srinagar, April 29 (KNS): Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and four others have been summoned by the Delhi Police on Wednesday in connection with a doctored video of Home Minister Amit Shah.

The video was allegedly shared by the official X handle of Telangana Congress, after which many party leaders reposted the video, claiming it showed the BJP's "agenda to abolish SC/ST reservation quotas".

The Delhi Police registered a case on the edited video being widely circulating on social media platforms after complaints by the BJP and the Home Ministry.

In the altered video, the Home Minister was seen advocating for the abolition of reservation quotas for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

After the complaints, the police filed a case under Sections 153, 153A, 465, 469, 171G of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 66C of the Information Technology (IT) Act and a probe was initiated.

The police also sent notices to the X and Facebook seeking information on the accounts that uploaded and shared the video.

The BJP has claimed that the video was manipulated to distort Amit Shah's original statements made during a poll rally. (KNS)
