Delhi HC agrees to hear plea seeking takedown of alleged deepfake image linked to CJP protest

The Delhi High Court agreed to hear a criminal writ petition seeking the removal and blocking of an allegedly morphed or deepfake image of a woman displayed alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The petitioner alleges the image was created using AI face-swapping technology without her consent and was shown during a Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar before being circulated on social media. The petition requests directions to social media platforms and authorities to trace, block, and remove the material, and seeks police protection for the petitioner following threatening messages received after the image's circulation.
