A 22-year-old B-Pharma graduate held for allegedly creating, uploading an AI-generated fake video showing a bomb blast at a Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) camp, police said
A 22-year-old B-Pharma graduate from Sevantari village in Uttar Pradesh's Maharajganj district has been arrested for allegedly creating and uploading an AI-generated fake video of a bomb blast at the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) camp on the India-Nepal border. The suspect, identified as Faiyaz Ahmad, posted the nine-second video on Instagram with a provocative caption.
Police quickly traced the account, found to be operated by Faiyaz, and obtained its deletion. The suspect admitted to creating the video to increase his social media followers and views. Faiyaz's Instagram account, a_faiyaz_001x, has approximately 11,600 followers and 327 posts, including AI-generated videos of himself driving luxury cars and visiting upscale locations.
His Facebook account has around 1,600 followers. The incident has led police to intensify monitoring of social-media activity in the border district, especially posts involving security forces, border installations, and other sensitive locations.
