Social media user booked for 'uploading AI-generated videos' of Jamui victim, her friend
The uploading of such video clips resulted in "revealing the identity of the girl and could affect social harmony", the Jamui police said in the statement
A social media user in Bihar has been arrested for allegedly posting AI-generated videos depicting a victim of a recent gang rape in the Jamui district, along with her male friend, according to an official statement. Police claim the videos were misleading and fake, as they exposed the identity of the girl and could potentially harm social harmony.
The case has been registered at the Cyber Police Station under various laws, including the BNS, POCSO Act, Juvenile Justice Act, and IT Act. The victim and her friend, both students at a coaching institute, were assaulted on September 19 and their ordeal was exposed two days later when a video of the incident went viral online. Three accused minors were apprehended and presented before a Juvenile Justice Board, while two others were arrested following a shootout where one sustained a bullet injury.
