Delhi Police Registers Case Over Amit Shah Fake Video

On Sunday, the Delhi Police initiated legal action by filing an FIR concerning the dissemination of a manipulated video featuring Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s speech on social media platforms, following a complaint from the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Special Cell has registered the FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and relevant provisions of the Information Technology (IT) Act.
