The police have registered a case against unidentified individuals in the viral fake video involving former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, following a complaint from Somnath Bangar, Vice-President of the municipal council and Manpreet Singh. The video, which allegedly misrepresents Kejriwal's comments on the Indian Constitution and Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar, has been edited to create a false narrative. The complainants said the video could incite hostility and damage social harmony, especially among SC/ST communities.
A case has been filed at the Garhshankar police station under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the SC/ST Act and the IT Act. The authorities have been urged to take strict action against those responsible for uploading the video.
