New Delhi: Another chief minister may be in trouble.
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy has been summoned by Delhi Police on May 1 in connection with Union Home minister Amit Shah’s doctored video case.
Police have asked him to bring all his electronic devices for the investigation, officials said.
Five others from Telangana, including Congress leaders who shared the doctored videos, have also been served notices to join the inquiry, according to sources.
Assam Police have also arrested one person in connection with the case.
On Sunday, Delhi Police’s Special Cell registered an FIR following a complaint from Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C), under Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
The complaint stated that a video of Shah speaking on reservations for Muslims in Telangana, during a ‘Vijaya Sankalp Sabha’ on April 23, were allegedly manipulated to imply the Home minister’s support for abolition of all reservations.
Reddy was sworn in as Telangana CM in December 2023 after Congress won a majority in the state Assembly elections.
He had previously said that when RSS was founded in 1925, it had resolved to declare India as a ‘Hindu country’ and abolish reservations within 100 years, by 2025.
