UP Man Arrested for Using AI-Generated Image to Fake Death and Evade Trial
In Uttar Pradesh's Mau district, police arrested Rajkumar Rajbhar, accused of a 2016 murder, for allegedly faking his death using AI-generated images. He reportedly staged a goat's funeral, substituting his body with AI-manipulated visuals to obtain a death certificate and evade trial and financial liabilities linked to stock market investments. Authorities uncovered the plot after intelligence led to his arrest near Mau's Khwajajahanpur locality. The case involves forged documents submitted to the court to support the false death claim.
