Overview
- The Hoshiarpur MP said an unknown caller on Friday around 8:45 am put a voice on the line claiming to be Amit Shah and asked for a meeting in Delhi.
- He said the voice did not match Amit Shah’s and the call came from a mobile number, which led him to file a police complaint.
- Hoshiarpur Senior Superintendent of Police Sandeep Kumar Malik confirmed the complaint and said investigators will use technical inputs to trace the number.
- Police have not established the caller’s identity or motive, a gap that has drawn extra attention in Punjab’s current churn over party defections.
- Similar impersonation attempts have been reported before, including a 2019 spoofed-number case in Delhi, a 2020 call by a man posing as a top aide, and a February 2024 arrest in Uttar Pradesh.
