“They are trying to use Delhi Police…”: Telangana CM on Amit Shah’s doctored video case

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Thursday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of “using” the Delhi police and alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is trying to “scare him.”
“Amit bhai is trying to scare me off. He is using MHA in doing so. If a political party produced a doctored video against a political party or leader, the concerned political party has to complain. But here, the complaint was by the MHA. It means that they (BJP) are trying to use Delhi Police like they use ED and CBI. Let them do whatever they want, there are courts…I have given the details of my Twitter accounts,” Revanth Reddy told ANI.
“In the age of social media, people are posting videos arbitrarily. If you accuse a CM for that and send him a notice – they have agencies in their hands…This is not correct,” he added.
Earlier, Delhi Police summoned Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in connection with Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s fake video case.
The Congress leader had been asked to appear before Delhi Police’s IFSO unit (Cyber Unit) on May 1 with his mobile phone, allegedly used for posting the fake video on X.
The Delhi Police registered a case on the edited video being widely circulating on social media platforms after a complaint by Home Minister Amit Shah on April 28.
In the video, Home Minister Amit Shah was seen speaking on the changes in reservation policies after the BJP comes back to power.
The Telangana BJP unit filed a complaint against TPCC President Revanth Reddy at the Cyber Crime police station for fabricating and morphing the speech of Amit Shah.
The complaint stated that the Telangana Congress Pradesh Congress Party, on its X account, posted a morphed or fabricated video of Amit Shah, Union Home Minister.
While Amit Shah stated that “Bharatiya Janata Party forms a government, then our government will cancel the unconstitutionally given Muslim reservations. In Telangana, SC/ST and OBC rights will be given, but Muslim reservations will be cancelled.”
However, the Telangana Pradesh Congress Party President in his Twitter account morphed the same video to modify the statement as “if the BJP party forms government, then the SC/ST and OBC reservations will be cancelled,” it stated
