Fact Checks Reveal AI-Altered Video and Image Circulating on Social Media
A video claiming to show Indian Army Chief Dhiraj Seth dancing with an Army Major's wife, Supreet Sapra, has been identified as AI-altered and false. Fact-checks by multiple outlets found no credible reports or evidence supporting the claim, noting inconsistencies like unmoving drinks and frozen facial expressions. Similarly, an image purportedly showing Indian stores broadcasting Rahul Gandhi's press conference was also found to be AI-generated. Both cases highlight the spread of manipulated media on social platforms.
