Fake AI-generated video triggers political row in Rudrapur
Rudrapur: Former BJP MLA Rajkumar Thukral on Sunday reported an AI-generated video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which was widely circulated in US Nagar's Rudrapur ahead of the panchayat elections on July 24.
The doctored clip shows Modi endorsing Amita Biswas, a district panchayat candidate.
Thukral filed a complaint with SSP Manikant Mishra, alleging that "Amita's husband, Jagdish Biswas, created and shared the video to sway voters and gain an unfair advantage." Calling it a criminal offense and a violation of the Model Code of Conduct, Thukral said, "This is a deliberate attempt to malign the image of the PM and mislead the public. Such actions must not go unpunished." He also reported the incident to the PMO for investigation and urged police to file an FIR and take strict action.
