A Delhi Court granted the Delhi Police three-day custody of Arun Reddy on Saturday, who handles the ‘Spirit of Congress’ X account and is the national coordinator for social media of the party, in the case of an allegedly doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah that was shared on social media handles of the Telangana Congress. The Delhi Police this week also summoned Telangana Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy in connection with the case.
The BJP’s Telangana unit filed a complaint against the CM and the Congress’ state chief, Revanth Reddy, at the Cyber Crime police station, accusing the party of fabricating and morphing the speech of Amit Shah.
Congress MP Manickam Tagore, who is the Telangana Congress in-charge alleged that the arrest was a misuse of power by the Union government.
