Delhi Police Issue Notice Over Deepfake Videos of PM Modi, Mother

Delhi Police have taken action against the creation and circulation of deepfake videos featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his mother, officials said on Monday. The Counter Intelligence Special Cell has issued a notice to the Bihar Congress unit in connection with the case.

The police have called in Amit Kumar Mandal for questioning on November 5, 2026, as part of their investigation into the matter. The move reflects growing concerns among law enforcement agencies about the misuse of artificial intelligence technology to create manipulated video content of political figures.

The incident underscores the rising challenge of deepfake content in India's political landscape, where synthetic media has become an increasingly common tool. Authorities have been stepping up efforts to crack down on individuals and organizations involved in the creation and dissemination of such fabricated materials.

The police investigation is ongoing, and officials have not yet disclosed additional details about the origins of the videos or their circulation on social media platforms. The case highlights the potential legal implications for those involved in producing and sharing AI-generated content without consent.
