Delhi Police apprehends a 24-year-old, identified as Eemani Naveen, for creating a deepfake video of actor Rashmika Mandanna. Naveen, a digital marketer, admitted his motive was to gain Instagram followers. The deepfake, initially featuring British-Indian influencer Zara Patel, went viral, prompting the Centre to issue advisories emphasizing legal consequences for deepfake creation. Naveen, a Mandanna fan, ran a fan page and observed a surge in followers after the video's release. Aware of potential trouble, he deleted posts, changed the channel name, and removed relevant digital data. The incident underscores concerns over the misuse of deepfake technology.
