Deepfake video falsely shows Ajit Doval threatening to release nude images of CJP leaders
A fabricated video claims NSA Ajit Doval threatened to publish nude photos of CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, but analysis proves it is a deepfake.
A video circulating online purports to show National Security Advisor Ajit Doval stating that nude photographs and videos of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have been taken and will be published if they protest. Researchers traced the visual portion to a YouTube recording from March 2019, confirming that Doval could not have spoken about the recent detention. Audio analysis using Hive Moderation and Hiya's deepfake voice detector assigned a high likelihood of AI-generated speech. The Press Information Bureau’s fact-checking account on X labeled the clip a deepfake, debunking the false allegation.
Why it matters
The spread of deepfakes can mislead the public and damage reputations, highlighting the need for verification tools.
