Guwahati: In a chilling example of the “New Age of Crime,” the Guwahati Crime Branch has registered a high-profile case involving AI-generated forgery. The FIR, filed by the Chief Minister’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, follows allegations by Congress leaders that she holds multiple foreign passports.
The Investigation Details:
AI Forgery: Investigative sources confirm that the “passport photos” presented in recent press conferences appear to be AI-generated deepfakes, designed to look like authentic government documents.
Cyber Police Alert: A separate case has been filed by AJP candidate Kunki Chowdhury regarding AI-generated “fake videos” targeting her family, highlighting a statewide pattern of digital character assassination.
Legal Implications: The Crime Branch is now seeking data from social media platforms to track the IP addresses of those who first circulated these digital forgeries.
This case marks the first major test of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 in tackling AI-driven defamation in Northeast India.
