Umashankar Patel, a Chhatarpur-based Youth Congress leader, is district head of the party's IT cell. "He (Patel) was taken to Civil Line Police station and after questioning he was set free with a notice," a source said.
Patel is the first person from Madhya Pradesh, who was questioned in connection with the doctored video, surfaced a couple of days ago.
At least 16 leaders, including Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, in seven states have been summoned by the Delhi Police in connection with the case.
