Doctored video of Amit Shah speech: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s lawyer asserts that Congress leader had nothing to do with creating or posting the doctored video of Amit Shah’s speech.
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s lawyer appeared before the Delhi Police on Wednesday and asserted that the Congress leader had nothing to do with creating or posting the doctored video of Amit Shah’s speech.
Mr. Reddy, who was summoned by the police for allegedly posting the video on social media platform X, hit out at the BJP at a rally in Telangana, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of adopting a vengeful attitude towards him for questioning the BJP over its stand on reservations.
Police sources said they are close to identifying the creator of the deepfake video but before reaching out to the suspect they have to verify who uploaded or forwarded it.
Notices have also been served to five others from various Opposition parties for allegedly sharing the video.
Jharkhand Congress president Rajesh Thakur has also been summoned by the Delhi Police on May 2 in connection with the probe, a party spokesperson said on Wednesday.
“I received the notice from Delhi Police on Tuesday. But, it is beyond my understanding why the notice was served to me. This is nothing but anarchy,” Mr. Thakur said.
Mr. Reddy’s lawyer appeared before the Delhi Police on Wednesday after summonses were issued to the Telangana Congress chief Mr. Reddy and four members of the Pradesh Congress Committee for allegedly posting the video on X.
