The cyber wing of Kerala police has registered a case against social media platform X and one of its handles for circulating an AI-generated video allegedly depicting the PM and ECI in a “misleading and defamatory manner”.

Police, in a statement, said the allegedly defamatory content was brought to its notice through official channels, including the Election Commission of India (ECI).

“Upon verification, it was assessed that the material had the



potential to mislead the public, undermine the credibility of constitutional bodies, and adversely impact the conduct of free and fair elections,” it said.

It said that a case was registered against the X (Twitter) account Laxmi N Raju (@valiant_Raju), and others — which includes X Corp — at the Cyber Crime Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram City, late Wednesday night and an investigation has been commenced to ascertain culpability and take action in accordance with law.
