New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Sunday registered a case over a doctored video circulating on social media platforms showing Union Home Minister Amit Shah advocating for the abolition of reservation quotas for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). The video, which has sparked controversy and allegations of misinformation, has prompted the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to file a complaint seeking action against those responsible for it. In response to concerns raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regarding the authenticity of the video, the Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on Sunday. The BJP has denounced the video by saying that it has been manipulated to distort Mr Shah’s original statements made during a political rally.

According to BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya, the video in question has been altered to misrepresent Mr Shah’s remarks on the issue of reservation quotas for Muslims in Telangana. “Congress is spreading an edited video which is completely fake and has the potential to cause large-scale violence. Home Minister Amit Shah spoke about removing the unconstitutional reservation given to Muslims, on the basis of religion, after reducing the share of SCs/STs and OBCs. This fake video has been posted by several Congress spokespersons. They must be prepared for legal consequences,” Mr Malviya said on Saturday. The MHA has attached a comprehensive report to its complaint, identifying the links and handles responsible for sharing the doctored video of the Home Minister.

The BJP alleged that the original video was of Amit Shah discussing the removal of the 4 per cent “unconstitutional” reservation for Muslims in Telangana, and it was edited to falsely depict the Union Home Minister advocating ending Muslim reservation, during a recent Lok Sabha election rally.

The FIR stated, “….it has been found that some doctored videos are being circulated by users of Facebook and Twitter (now X). The video seems to be doctored, spreading misleading information with the intention of creating disharmony among communities which is likely to affect tranquility and create public order issues.”

A senior police officer said that they are trying to trace the original creator of the video and will question some people, who have shared the doctored video, in order to reach its source. The complaint was lodged on Sunday and the FIR was registered on the same day.
