Hyderabad Police Book Meta India Head Arun Srinivas over Allegedly Morphed Modi Posts
Police are probing whether Meta’s safeguards failed as investigators examine who created and spread the manipulated videos and possible legal violations.
- Hyderabad Police registered two cases against Meta India head Arun Srinivas and account operators for circulating AI-morphed videos targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi under the Information Technology Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
- During the Cockroach Janta Party-led NEET paper leak protests, complaints allege the videos were digitally altered to depict the Prime Minister and other officials in an "obscene, derogatory and misleading" manner.
- BJP supporters Saikiran Goud and Aravind Reddy filed complaints citing Sections 66-C and 67 of the IT Act alongside Sections 353 and 336 of the BNS; Goud submitted 20 links that became inactive by Thursday.
- Police issued a notice to Meta regarding the reported links while investigators continue identifying account operators; authorities described the investigation as preliminary and noted case registration does not constitute wrongdoing findings.
- This case joins a separate Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology inquiry into a temporary restriction on Prime Minister Modi's Facebook post, reflecting increasing government scrutiny of social media platforms over AI-generated misinformation.
