Last week, the Delhi Police arrested Arun Reddy, who handles the 'Spirit of Congress' X account, in connection with Amit Shah's doctored video case.
In the doctored video, the Union Home Minster is purportedly heard saying that the BJP stands against the reservations in the country.
However, during his address at a public meeting in Congress-ruled Telangana, Shah said, "If the BJP forms the government here, we will withdraw the unconstitutional reservations to Muslims. We will ensure that the SCs, STs and OBCs get quotas as guaranteed under the Constitution."
Earlier, five Congress workers were arrested by the Telangana Police in connection with Shah's fake video case.
