The Delhi Police has summoned Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in connection with Union Home Minister Amit Shah's fake video case, sources said on Monday.
Speaking to ANI, Congress spokesperson said that they have received three notices on behalf of three leaders, Satish Manne, Asma Taslima and Shivshankar.
"We have received the notice from the Delhi Police seeking information and evidence from the social media head, Mr. Satish. Just now, we have received the document.

We have to go through the contents to see whether it is on the issue of Amit Shah. Let us go through the contents of the complaint, then we can respond," Congress spokesperson and legal advisor Ramchandra Reddy said.
Earlier, the Telangana BJP unit filed a complaint against TPCC President Revanth Reddy at the Cyber Crime police station for fabricating and morphing the speech of Amit Shah.
The complaint stated that the Telangana Congress Pradesh Congress Party, on its Twitter account, posted a morphed or fabricated video of Amit Shah, Union Home Minister.
While Amit Shah stated that "Bharatiya Janata Party forms a government, then our government will cancel the unconstitutionally given Muslim reservations. In Telangana, SC/ST and OBC rights will be given, but Muslim reservations will be cancelled."
However, Telangana Pradesh Congress Party President in his Twitter account morphed the same video to modify the statement as "if the BJP party forms government, then the SC/ST and OBC reservations will be cancelled," it stated.
The Congress leader has been asked to appear before Delhi Police's IFSO unit (Cyber Unit) on May 1 with his mobile phone.
The Telangana CM has been asked to appear with his mobile phone, allegedly used for posting the fake video on X (formerly Twitter).
This comes after the Delhi Police registered a case on Sunday following a complaint by the Ministry of Home Affairs in connection with the doctored videos of Union Home Minister Amit Shah being circulated on social media platforms.
