BJP leaders have criticized these allegations, accusing the Congress of spreading false information that could potentially fuel social discord.The MHA, in its complaint, has provided a detailed report identifying the sources and channels responsible for disseminating the altered video of the Home Minister.With the FIR now filed, the Delhi Police’s Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) Unit has initiated an investigation into the origins of the fabricated video.
