Video of Delhi Police DCP Sumit Jha Resigning Over Student Protests Is Deepfake
A video purportedly showing Delhi Police Deputy Commissioner Sumit Jha resigning in support of protesting students has circulated widely on social media. The clip features Jha claiming he was pressured to lie about the students and refuses to be part of such actions. However, fact-checking by Alt News and The Quint confirms the video is an AI-generated deepfake, and the resignation claim is false. Authorities have not reported any such resignation.
