Chennai mayor R Priya files cybercrime complaint over obscene AI image, derogatory posts
Chennai mayor R Priya has approached cyber police, accusing TVK functionaries of targeting her.
Chennai's mayor, R Priya, has reported a cybercrime to the Tamil Nadu Cyber Crime police over an incident involving an AI-generated, obscene image of her and derogatory posts made against her. In a video shared on her official social media account, Priya expressed her distress, accusing ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) officials of targeting her due to her gender.
Priya highlighted that her personal life has been impacted by these demeaning comments, questioning why her government, which claims to be a guardian of women, fails to protect her from such attacks. The complaint, filed with the Commissioner of Police A Amalraj, details how a social media user, identified as @YarlMyn or Yaazh Mynthan on X, posted the offensive image and remarks against her.
Drawing attention to her Dalit background, Priya stated that the posts contained false allegations and baseless accusations, causing severe mental anguish to her and her family. She urged the TVK government to consider the implications of such behavior on women who participate in public life, questioning why no action has been taken against the perpetrators despite her prior complaints to the police.
