Scandal Rocks Politics: BJP’s Amit Shah’s Son Impersonation Case Exposed, MLAs Lured with CM Post in Manipur
Three Individuals Busted for Fraud in Manipur, Accused of Impersonating Union Home Minister’s Son and Offering Chief Ministerial Post for Bribe
In a shocking turn of events, three individuals, Uvaish Ahmed, Gaurav Nath, and Priyansu Pant, have been arrested in Uttarakhand for their alleged involvement in a major fraud scheme targeting Manipur MLAs. The accused have been brought to Imphal for further investigation, with police confirming the development on Wednesday.
The scheme unfolded following the imposition of President’s Rule in the state in February after Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s resignation. The accused allegedly contacted several Manipur legislators, posing as Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s son, Jay Shah, and promised them the chief ministerial post in exchange for a staggering sum of Rs 4 crore.
According to a senior police officer, the suspects used the name and reputation of the powerful politician to deceive the MLAs, demanding substantial funds from them. "These individuals posed as Jay Shah and demanded substantial funds from MLAs, claiming they would secure the chief ministerial post in return," the police statement read.
Two First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered at the Imphal Police Station, leading to the arrest of the suspects. The accused hail from Uttar Pradesh’s Etah district and East Delhi’s Ghazipur, respectively.
Manipur has been reeling from ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities, which has left over 250 people dead and thousands homeless. The state remains under suspended animation, with its assembly due to complete its tenure in 2027. The move to impose President’s Rule has raised concerns about the stability and future of the state.
The case has sent shockwaves through the political circles in Manipur, with many MLAs feeling betrayed and anxious about the consequences of such fraudulent activities. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the alleged scam will impact the state’s politics and the lives of its citizens.
