BJP Accuses Congress of Amplifying Fabricated AI Police Video
Police say a man was arrested for sharing a fake video made with artificial intelligence.
The video appeared to show a police officer attacking a woman journalist.
Police say the arrested man is 24 and that they recovered a phone allegedly used to share the video.
The BJP says Rahul Gandhi and other Congress figures spread a false story using the video.
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari asked why Gandhi had not deleted his post after the arrest.
He also asked whether the Congress party's IT team had ordered the video to be made.
The article does not include a response from Gandhi or Congress.
The reported arrest does not, by itself, establish that Congress was involved in making the video.
Delhi Police said 24-year-old Nadeem Ahmed Ameen was arrested for allegedly circulating a fabricated AI-generated video.
The video purportedly depicted ACP Vivek Bhagat sexually assaulting a woman described as an independent journalist.
Police said Ameen was apprehended in the Mewat region and that a phone allegedly used to circulate the video was recovered.
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari accused Rahul Gandhi and Congress figures of amplifying a false narrative about Delhi Police.
Bhandari questioned Gandhi's silence after the arrest and asked whether Congress's IT cell directed creation of the video; the article reports no response from Gandhi or Congress.
