A formal police investigation is underway following allegations that a woman’s image was manipulated during protests organized by the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP). The complainant claims that artificial intelligence and face-swap software were used to superimpose her likeness onto a photograph featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While the investigation is in its early stages, the incident highlights growing concerns regarding the misuse of generative AI to create deceptive imagery in political contexts. Authorities have registered a case, though specific details regarding potential suspects or the origin of the image have not yet been released to the public. The incident has drawn attention to the intersection of digital privacy, political activism, and the potential for misinformation to influence public perception during demonstrations. As of now, no arrests have been reported, and officials are currently examining the digital evidence to determine how the image was created and disseminated.
