Assam Police arrest individual linked to fake video of Amit Shah

Assam Police on April 29 apprehended Reetom Singh, a man linked to a counterfeit video involving Home Minister Amit Shah. 

The video has been circulating on various social media platforms.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, on April 29, took a jibe at the Indian National Congress for sharing a doctored video of Home Minister Amit Shah on social media.

Rijiju posted a split-screen video showing the contrast between the fake and original versions, and wrote, "Shame on Congress Party. I strongly condemn Congress for spreading a fake & edited video. Home Minister @AmitShah ji's words have been twisted. Misleading the public is a disservice to democracy. This irresponsible behaviour has the potential to disrupt peace."

Nationwide arrests are expected in connection with the case.
