Assam woman defamed with AI-generated porn after fake link to adult film industry goes viral; engineer arrested
Dibrugarh Senior Superintendent of Police (in-charge) Sizal Agarwal said a complaint was received from the victim on Saturday stating that morphed images and videos were being used to defame her.
The victim had been in the spotlight for the last few weeks after her purported image with an adult film actor surfaced, with claims that the Assam woman has joined the adult film industry in the US.
"We received a complaint yesterday that the morphed and AI-generated photos and videos of the victim were being circulated on social media. The reference of an Instagram page was included with it, and when we searched for credentials of the page owner, we found a phone number which we traced to the accused," Agarwal said.
"The accused had used the image of the victim to generate several obscene content and pornographic materials using AI software. They have a past acquaintance, and he did it due to personal reasons," he added.
The accused, a mechanical engineer by qualification, was arrested from Tinsukia on Saturday night, the SSP (in-charge) said.
Agarwal said the crime, which initially started as a harassment tactic, continued when the accused began monetising the content.
"There was a subscription link to the adult content that he had posted, and people had to pay to access it. He earned about Rs 10 lakh through it. He kept on continuing the crime as he got greedy, though he had initiated it for harassing the woman," she said.
The officer said multiple agencies will be involved in the investigation as digital evidence has to be examined, with the police seizing laptop, mobile phones, hard disk and other items from the accused.
Agarwal also urged people to be careful while accessing online content and, have a closer look before circulating any information they receive on social media.

Lucknow: Two senior Army officers fell prey to burglaries in MRA Vihar Govt Housing Colony, raising concerns over safety in high security zone. The thefts took place on July 11 while both officers were away on leave. Upon returning, they discovered forced entry into their houses-- House Nos. 15B and 14B-- and missing valuables, including jewellery and cash. Colonel Hari Kumar Gupta, posted at Base Hospital, Lucknow, was on leave from June 15 to July 14. On July 11, his domestic help called him to inform him about the theft.

The Man Who Vanished In 2011 Is Now World's 12th Richest, Holds Rs 11 Lakh Crore In Bitcoin
Last Updated: Nakamoto was active online until 2011, then vanished. A NY Post report claims he is a 37-year-old Japanese man, but his activity timings suggest he may be based in the UK The mystery surrounding the identity of Bitcoin's creator has once again stirred global curiosity. Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive figure credited with inventing the world's first cryptocurrency, remains shrouded in secrecy, with no definitive proof of whether the name represents a real individual or a group. Yet, despite the anonymity, Nakamoto has now been ranked the 12th richest entity in the world, with assets exceeding $128 billion, thanks to Bitcoin's meteoric rise. Satoshi Nakamoto is credited with publishing Bitcoin's white paper in 2008 and mining the first Bitcoin block in 2009. Now, nearly a decade and a half since Bitcoin's launch, Satoshi Nakamoto has become the 12th richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $128.92 billion (over Rs 11 lakh crore). According to crypto exchange Bitstamp, Nakamoto is believed to own around 10.96 lakh bitcoins, surpassing even Michael Dell's net worth of $124.8 billion. Various names have been linked to Nakamoto, including software developer Hal Finney, computer scientist Nick Szabo, entrepreneur Elon Musk, and former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, all of whom have denied being Bitcoin's creator. Craig Wright, an Australian computer scientist, is the only person to have repeatedly claimed to be Nakamoto. However, a UK court sentenced him to 12 months in prison in 2024, calling him a liar and accusing him of 'legal terrorism" for his persistent falsehoods. His sentence is currently suspended, but he faces imprisonment if he repeats such claims. Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery ' explored the enigma. At one point, filmmaker Cullen Hoback suggested that a man named Peter K. Todd might be the creator, but Todd denied any involvement. Nakamoto was active online until 2011, after which he disappeared from public view. A New York Post report suggests Nakamoto might be a 37-year-old Japanese man, although the timing of his online activities aligns with UK daylight hours. Analysis of Bitcoin's code indicates he was proficient in the C++ programming language. Author Benjamin Wallace, in his book ' The Mysterious Mr Nakamoto: A Fifteen-Year Quest to Unmask the Secret Genius Behind Crypto ' published in March 2025, describes Nakamoto as 'an elusive figure who may or may not exist." Regardless of Nakamoto's true identity, their name now shines in the list of the world's wealthiest individuals, adding an intriguing layer to the fascinating story of Bitcoin. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
