PIB Debunks Fake AI Video of FM Sitharaman Promoting Investment Scheme
A video is going around on the internet that shows Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman talking about an investment plan.
The plan says you can earn ₹5,000 every hour and even ₹1 crore in six months.
But the Press Information Bureau (PIB) says this video is not real.
It is made using AI and is fake.
The government has not announced any such plan.
PIB also told people not to believe such fake news and to only trust official government information.
Earlier, there was another video of a different minister that was also fake and was used to spread wrong information.
A fake AI-generated video of FM Nirmala Sitharaman promoting an investment scheme is circulating online.
The scheme falsely claims to offer ₹5,000 per hour and ₹1 crore in six months.
PIB confirmed the video is fake and neither the FM nor the Government of India endorsed the scheme.
PIB advised citizens to rely only on official government sources for accurate information.
Earlier, an old video of Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu was misused to spread misleading claims.
