Assam Man Arrested For Creating Fake Profile, AI-Generated Pics Of Influencer Archita Phukan
Last Updated: The accused, identified as Pratim Bora, was Phukan's former partner who created a fake profile and posted AI-generated pictures to defame the influencer. A man has been arrested in Assam's Dibrugarh for allegedly creating a fake social media profile and morphed images of influencer Archita Phukan, also known as 'Babydoll Archi'. The accused, identified as Pratim Bora, was arrested on Saturday. He was a former partner of Phukan who allegedly uploaded objectionable pictures of the influencer to defame and harass the woman, the Hindustan Times reported, citing the police. The Assamese model and influencer recently made headlines after a photo of her with American adult film star Kendra Lust surfaced online, making her one of the most talked-about names online. However, Phukan said her pictures with Kendra Lust were morphed and shared from a fake account, adding that her friends and acquaintances came across the pictures after they were widely circulated on social media. After Phukan's brother lodged a complaint, Bora, a resident of Tinsukia, was arrested from his residence. It was soon revealed that Bora had been operating the fake profile for several weeks. Police said Bora had gone into hiding to escape punishment for his actions, but he was caught after authorities traced his phone using IP address data and technical evidence. His phone and laptop were seized from his possession and sent for forensic examination. Bora later admitted to sourcing images from Phukan's old social media posts and editing. He had reportedly created the fake account out of emotional frustration after his relationship with the influencer had ended, as per the report. An FIR was registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and the police said they might add provisions of the IT Act pertaining to cyber fraud, defamation, identity manipulation, obscenity, and invasion of privacy against the accused. Bora is currently in police custody and will be produced before a court. view comments First Published: July 13, 2025, 13:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
