Two people booked for posting obscene deepfake videos targeting Gandhi family
Police complaint stated that the X posts contain vulgar deepfake videos targeting Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
The Cyber Crime Police in Telangana has registered a criminal case against two X account holders for allegedly disseminating obscene deepfake videos targeting prominent Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi. The complaint was filed by Telangana Congress party Member of Legislative Assembly (MLC) Venkat Balmoor, who alleged that the X posts contained vulgar deepfake videos aimed at spreading misinformation and inflammatory content.
The complainant identified the accounts responsible as Bharat Matrix (@xBharat) and Bhaskar Shastri (@Bhajos1S97051). The police have initiated an investigation under relevant sections of the IT Act and the Bengal Subordinate Narcotics Act (BNS) to examine the contents of the deepfake videos and their dissemination. Indian Youth Congress National President Uday Bhanu Chib condemned the targeting of women leaders and the family of a martyr, vowing to unmask those hiding behind the accounts.
He emphasized that such low-level politics will not be tolerated and called for a stern lesson to be taught to the perpetrators, who must face the law.
