arun beereddy: Amit Shah’s deep fake video probe: Police suspect Congress’ Arun Beereddy to be ‘main’ creator
According to a police officer, the investigations into the fake video have revealed some more names who are suspected to be Beereddy’s associates and who helped him in creating the fake video and sharing it on social media to spread misinformation during the elections.
The reports of electronic gadgets like mobile phones and laptop seized from Beereddy are yet to come from the forensic science laboratory (FSL). But the investigations so far have pointed that he was among the main creators of the fake video, an official source said.
Another official source said a team of Special Cell, camping in Telangana since the case was registered on April 28, conducted raids at several places in Hyderabad on Monday and Tuesday to collect the evidences related to the case. They have also questioned a few people.
- All
- Uttar Pradesh
- Maharashtra
- Tamil Nadu
- West Bengal
- Bihar
- Karnataka
- Andhra Pradesh
- Telangana
- Kerala
- Madhya Pradesh
- Rajasthan
- Delhi
- Other States
The cell, on a complaint from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), which comes under the home ministry, had registered the FIR under IPC sections 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth), 465 (punishment for forgery), 469 (forgery for purpose of harming reputation) and 171G (false statement in connection with an election). The police added a section of criminal conspiracy later into the case.
The complaint was about the doctored video of Shah where his statements indicating a commitment to abolish quota for Muslims on religious grounds in Telangana were changed to make it seem that he was advocating scrapping of all reservations.
