A senior Congress leader in Kerala, N. Subramanian, was taken into custody for allegedly sharing a photograph depicting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan with a Sabarimala gold case accused. Police stated the image was AI-generated and booked Subramanian under sections related to defamation and provoking enmity. Subramanian claims the photo was from a CMO video and not AI-generated, questioning the government's actions and alleging selective prosecution, while also noting similar images were shared by a BJP leader without similar action.
