Delhi Police busts fake video racket; arrests key accused

Delhi Police arrested a Congress member for circulating a doctored video of Home Minister Amit Shah advocating for abolishing quotas for Muslims and all reservations. The arrest followed a complaint from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre under the Home Affairs Ministry.

The Delhi Police on Friday arrested a Congress member for allegedly uploading and circulating a fake video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, an official said here.

Arun Reddy handles the 'Spirit of Congress' account on 'X', the official said.

The Delhi Police Special Cell earlier registered an FIR after the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), which comes under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), filed a complaint about the doctored video of Shah where his statements indicating a commitment to abolish quota for Muslims on religious grounds in Telangana were changed to make it seem that he was advocating scrapping of all reservations.
