“This is to inform you one mischievous person under the name of Illyas Mir Magami alias Magamiillyas has uploaded a dubbed and fake video of Amit Shah where in it is stated that Centre is going to remove the reservation of SC and ST people in J&K, which is totally baseless and far from facts,” Thakur stated in the complaint. ” I request you to kindly act swiftly against the person and arrest him for spreading wrong information as the act has a potential to trigger resentment and protest by the SC and ST community of J&K,” it added.
