Fraudulent Political Scandal: Impersonating Amit Shah's Son

Three individuals were arrested for impersonating Jay Shah and offering political positions for money to Manipur MLAs. This followed the President's rule in Manipur due to unrest. The accused promised chief ministerial posts for Rs 4 crore and have been detained after investigations linked them to two registered FIRs.

In a high-profile political fraud scandal, three men were arrested for impersonating Jay Shah, Union Home Minister Amit Shah's son. The trio allegedly contacted multiple Manipur MLAs, offering them the position of chief minister in exchange for Rs 4 crore.

The accused, Uvaish Ahmed, Gaurav Nath, and Priyansu Pant, were brought to Imphal from Uttarakhand as part of an ongoing investigation linked to two FIRs. Manipur has been under President's rule since February 13, following the resignation of Chief Minister N Biren Singh amidst ethnic violence.

The state's legislative assembly remains in suspended animation, with tensions high due to the conflict between Meiteis and Kuki-Zo groups. The alleged impersonators promised state governance roles in a ploy exploiting the region's volatile political landscape.
