Mumbai police detained a man after complaints that he filmed women on a local train and used artificial intelligence to alter the footage.
Mumbai police detained a man following multiple complaints that he was secretly recording women inside a crowded local train carriage and later used artificial‑intelligence tools to morph the captured images.
The investigation showed the suspect used a smartphone to film the passengers and applied deep‑fake software to alter the women's faces, creating non‑consensual synthetic content.
He was taken into custody by the city’s cyber‑crime unit and is likely to be charged under sections dealing with voyeurism, invasion of privacy and misuse of AI technology.
Police officials warned that the misuse of generative AI for creating fake images is an emerging threat and urged commuters to report any similar incidents promptly.
