FIRs Filed Over Alleged Fake Videos on Varanasi Ghat Redevelopment Dispute

A controversy has arisen over redevelopment work at Varanasi's Manikarnika Ghat, with the Opposition alleging damage to temples and idols. The Uttar Pradesh government denies these claims, stating that circulating visuals are fake and AI-generated, and has filed multiple FIRs against those spreading misinformation. The Chief Minister has intervened amid political exchanges, raising questions about whether the issue reflects genuine concerns or political motives targeting leaders Modi and Yogi.
