The Delhi Police Special Cell earlier registered an FIR after a complaint was filed about the doctored video of Shah where his statements indicating a commitment to abolish quota for Muslims on religious grounds in Telangana were changed to make it seem that he was advocating scrapping of all reservations.

Earlier, the Delhi Police summoned Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy on May 1 for questioning in a case of a doctored video of Amit Shah.
