Union Minister Claims FIR Against Him Based on Doctored Video
A politician named Lalan Singh is in trouble because of a video that showed him telling his supporters to keep certain people at home on election day.
This could stop people from voting, which is not allowed.
The police filed a complaint against him.
But Lalan Singh says the video is fake and has been changed.
He says he was actually trying to help voters who were being scared by another political group not to vote for his party.
The Election Commission, which is in charge of making sure elections are fair, is looking into it.
They want to see the real video to find out what actually happened.
Union minister Lalan Singh claims the video used to file an FIR against him for violating the Model Code of Conduct is doctored.
The FIR was registered by the Patna district administration after a video showed Singh urging supporters to prevent 'a few leaders' from leaving their homes on polling day.
Singh alleges his remarks were misinterpreted and aimed at protecting voters allegedly threatened by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) workers.
The RJD shared the video, accusing Singh of vote suppression and undermining the Election Commission.
The Election Commission has issued a notice to Singh, seeking a response within 24 hours regarding the incident.
