Summary
On September 25, 2026, the Delhi High Court directed Meta to remove an alleged deepfake image depicting a woman alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The court issued notices to four political activists accused of circulating the manipulated content and ordered Delhi Police to ensure the woman’s protection after she alleged her photograph was digitally altered without permission. The petition claimed the image was created using AI-assisted face swapping and circulated to humiliate and defame the woman, though the court has not made a final finding on the respondents’ liability.
