A recent incident in New Delhi has caught the attention of the Delhi Police Special Cell's Intelligence Fusion & Strategic Operations unit. This unit has reached out to platforms such as X (previously known as Twitter) and other social media channels to gather information on a manipulated video featuring Union Home Minister Amit Shah. According to sources involved in the investigation, the team is looking into the origin of the video as well as the individuals responsible for its widespread circulation.
The incident in question has caused quite a stir, resulting in the Delhi Police filing an FIR (First Information Report) on Sunday. The video in question has been edited to make it seem like the Home Minister is advocating for the abolition of reservation quotas for Muslims in Telangana. However, the original statements made by Shah were intended to address the scrapping of all reservations.
Sources have revealed that the Delhi Police received two complaints in regards to this doctored video. One was filed by the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), while the other was from the Ministry of Home Affairs. Following this, the Special Cell's Cyber Wing's IFSO unit took action and filed an FIR. This case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act.
In the FIR, which has been obtained by IANS, the Ministry of Home Affairs stated that they had noticed manipulated videos circulating on platforms like Facebook and X. They also expressed concern about the misleading information being spread with the intention of creating disharmony among communities, which could potentially lead to public order issues. The Ministry has requested for necessary legal action to be taken against those responsible.
The complaint also included a report with details of links and handles that have shared the doctored videos of the Home Minister. This has caused quite a controversy, as the video has sparked debates about reservation provisions for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes within the BJP.
The Delhi Police Special Cell's efforts to uncover the truth behind this doctored video are ongoing. It is essential to maintain peace and harmony among communities, and the authorities are taking necessary steps to ensure that the situation does not escalate any further. Let us hope that the truth is revealed, and justice is served.
