Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has lodged a formal complaint with the Chanakyapuri police after a deepfake video surfaced, alleging it misrepresented him.
The deepfake clip, which appeared online last week, shows Piyush Goyal in a context that he says is fabricated. The minister expressed strong disapproval and immediately approached the Chanakyapuri police station to file a complaint. Police officials confirmed that a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered and an investigation will be launched to trace the source of the video. The incident underscores the growing concern over deepfake technology and its potential to spread misinformation about public figures.
