A woman from Rajasthan, while on a pilgrimage to Haridwar, discovered that an AI‑generated deepfake turned her video into an obscene clip. She lodged a complaint at Kotwali police station, and authorities have opened a case.
The incident involved a resident of Rajasthan who was on a religious visit to Haridwar when a video of her was allegedly altered using artificial intelligence. The manipulated version was circulated as pornographic content, prompting the woman to seek immediate legal recourse.
Upon learning that the deepfaked clip was being shared online, the victim traveled to Haridwar's Kotwali police station and filed a formal complaint. She provided the original footage and the altered version to the investigating officers.
Haridwar police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) under relevant cyber‑crime provisions. The case is being forwarded to the cyber crime cell for forensic analysis of the digital evidence and to identify the source of the AI manipulation.
Authorities have warned that the creation and distribution of non‑consensual deepfake pornography is a punishable offense under Indian law, and they have assured the complainant that the investigation will be pursued rigorously.
The incident highlights growing concerns over misuse of AI tools for creating defamatory content, prompting calls for stricter enforcement and public awareness about digital privacy rights.
