Soon after the Delhi Police issued a notice to Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy over its probe in connection with Union Home Minister Amit Shah's 'doctored' video getting viral, the latter stated that he was not afraid of anything. His remark comes as the police have issued notices to five members of the Telangana Congress, including its chief Reddy, who posted the video on social media platform X.
Speaking on Monday during a Congress rally at Sedam, Reddy claimed that PM Narendra Modi has so far been using agencies like ED and CBI to win elections and is now using Delhi Police as well. He said he had received information that Delhi Police personnel reached the Telangana Congress headquarters in Hyderabad.
"Some posting was made on social media, (they) reached Telangana Gandhi Bhavan (state Congress headquarters) with the notice that we will arrest Telangana Congress President and Telangana chief minister. That means Narendra Modi ji is now using Delhi Police to win elections. ED, income tax, CBI are over," he said.
