Controversy Surrounds Maharashtra Congress Leader Over Doctored Video

Maharashtra Congress leader Atul Londhe faces legal action for allegedly showing a doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah during a TV debate. The edited clip, which has sparked controversy, altered Shah's comments on reservations, leading to accusations of spreading fake information amid concerns about societal impact.

Maharashtra Congress leader Atul Londhe was booked by Mumbai police on Monday for allegedly presenting a doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah during a television debate.

A Delhi police investigation had earlier confirmed that the video, which reshaped Shah's statements on reservations, was fabricated.

BJP leader Rupesh Malasure lodged a complaint, highlighting that such misinformation could disrupt social order. Londhe faces charges under section 353(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
