The Delhi Police has taken action on Sunday by registering a case concerning a manipulated video circulating on social media platforms. The video purportedly depicts Union Home Minister Amit Shah advocating for the elimination of reservation quotas for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). This controversial video has prompted the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to file a complaint seeking accountability from those responsible.
In response to concerns raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regarding the video’s authenticity, the Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on Sunday. The BJP has condemned the video, asserting that it distorts Mr. Amit Shah’s original statements made during a political rally.
According to BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya, the video has been manipulated to misrepresent Mr. Amit Shah’s remarks on the issue of reservation quotas for Muslims in Telangana. “Congress is spreading an edited video which is completely fake and has the potential to cause large-scale violence. Home Minister Amit Shah spoke about removing the unconstitutional reservation given to Muslims, on the basis of religion, after reducing the share of SCs/STs and OBCs. This fake video has been posted by several Congress spokespersons. They must be prepared for legal consequences,” Mr. Malviya stated on Saturday.
The controversy surrounding the video has escalated as various social media handles, including official accounts affiliated with the Congress, shared the manipulated footage, alleging that it exposes the BJP’s “agenda to abolish SC/ST reservation quotas.” These claims have drawn sharp criticism from BJP leaders, who accuse the Congress of disseminating false information with the potential to incite social discord.
The MHA has submitted a comprehensive report along with its complaint, identifying the links and handles responsible for circulating the doctored video of the Home Minister.
With the FIR now registered, the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) Unit of the Delhi Police Special Cell has commenced its investigation into the origins of the fabricated video.
