Delhi Police registers case over doctored video of Amit Shah advocating abolition of reservation
New Delhi/IBNS: The Delhi Police on Sunday registered a case over a doctored video showing Union Home Minister Amit Shah speaking in favour of abolishing reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes, media reports said.
The doctored video prompted the Union Home Ministry to file a complaint with the police.
In response to the complaint, police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on Sunday.
The country's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the Telangana Congress of altering Shah's remarks to misrepresent him.

Home Minister Amit Shah spoke about removing the unconstitutional reservation given to Muslims, on the basis of religion, after reducing share of SCs/STs and OBCs.
"This fake video has been posted by several Congress spokespersons, including likes of @asmatasleem13 and others. They must be prepared for legal consequences."
