Summary

On October 8, 2026 an image circulated on X that purported to show Hyderabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar making an arrest; Sajjanar said the picture was AI-generated (a deepfake), warned users not to share such visuals, and asked actor Jr NTR to take note of misuse by some of his fans. The X account that originally shared the image reportedly deleted the post and apologised in the comments of Sajjanar’s post. The image circulation was tied to a separate AI-manipulated video featuring Janhvi Kapoor and Jr NTR; the article reports that Jr NTR vowed legal action against those who created and spread the manipulated video, and Sajjanar urged caution about realistic AI-generated content.
