New Delhi, May 3 (UNI) The Delhi Police on Friday arrested Arun Reddy, a Congress worker who manages the Spirit of Congress X account, in connection with Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s fake video case, an official said.
Arun Reddy, who is the national coordinator of Congress's social media cell, is accused of allegedly uploading and circulating a deepfake morphed video of Amit Shah.
Earlier, the Delhi Police Special Cell registered an FIR after the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), filed a complaint about the doctored video of Shah. In the video, Shah’s statements indicating a commitment to abolish quota for Muslims on religious grounds in Telangana were altered to make it seem that he was advocating the scrapping of all reservations.
