A Bihar labourer was arrested after authorities identified him as the creator of a fake blast video generated using artificial intelligence, prompting a police investigation.
Bihar police have taken a labourer into custody after tracing a digitally fabricated video that depicted a bomb blast. The clip, which circulated on social media, was identified as an artificial intelligence‑generated creation rather than footage of an actual incident. Investigators said the video was designed to incite panic and could have violated the Information Technology Act.
The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, was apprehended in a routine check and is currently being questioned about the video's origin and intended audience. Officials emphasized that the misuse of AI tools to produce misleading content is a growing concern for law enforcement agencies across the country.
Authorities have warned that spreading such fabricated material can lead to legal action, including charges of creating false information and causing public unrest. The case underscores the need for stricter monitoring of AI‑generated media and public awareness about verifying online content before sharing.
