Misinformation Circulates on Police Uniforms, AI Images, and Fake Political Accounts
A viral video claiming to show a van full of police uniforms at Delhi's Jantar Mantar is false; it actually depicts newly recruited West Bengal Police uniforms. An AI-generated image alleging Bangladeshi nationals joined anti-CEC protests in London lacks credible evidence. Additionally, a fake Instagram account impersonating Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has been soliciting donations using AI-generated videos. These instances highlight misinformation circulating around recent protests and political figures.
