Case Registered Over Fake AI Video of Top Kerala Cop
Bad people made a fake video of a very senior police officer in Kerala, India.
They used a computer tool called AI to copy his face and voice.
In the video, the fake officer tells people they can earn lots of money — up to 25 lakh rupees.
The video says people don't have to pay any fee to join.
It is all a lie to trick people into a scam about old currency notes.
Real police officers saw the video while checking the internet.
They filed a case against the people who made it.
The case was registered at the cyber police station in Thiruvananthapuram.
Police are now investigating and checking if anyone was cheated.
