BJP Worker Used AI to Impersonate Politician in ₹3.6 Crore Scam Attempt
Someone tried to steal money using fake documents and a fake voice made by a computer to sound like a politician.
A person named Amit Solunke, who is part of a political party, is accused of doing this.
He pretended to be a politician to get money transferred from one place to another.
The police caught on before the money was actually stolen.
The person was trying to get ₹3.6 crore.
Because the money wasn't taken, he was allowed to be released on bail while the police continue to investigate.
A BJP worker in Jalgaon, Amit Solunke, is accused of attempting a ₹3.6 crore fund scam.
Solunke allegedly used AI to impersonate BJP MLC Prasad Lad and forge documents.
The scam involved diverting funds from Ratnagiri to Beed using Lad's identity.
The attempt was foiled due to documentation discrepancies before funds were released.
Solunke has been granted anticipatory bail by a Mumbai sessions court.
