A team from the Delhi Police will be reaching Telangana to serve the notice to individuals who tweeted this fake video. “Since INC Telangana posted it on X (formerly Twitter), notice will be served to them also,” said the sources. 

Earlier, Amit Malviya, the head of the BJP IT cell, had said that the Telangana Congress faction was circulating a doctored video of Amit Shah, alleging it to be entirely fabricated and capable of inciting widespread violence.

A case has been registered under Sections 153, 153A, 465, 469 and 171G of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 66C of the Information Technology (IT) Act. 

“The video seems to be doctored, spreading misleading information with the intention of creating disharmony among communities which is likely to affect public tranquility and public order issues.  It is requested to kindly take necessary legal action as per the provisions of law, the minister said, as per the FIR.
