  3. The party threatened strict legal action against media houses and individuals circulating the content.

The story

Bharat Rashtra Samithi Working President K.T. Rama Rao alleged on September 9 that photographs released by the Congress government are AI-generated fabrications. Rao announced the party will file a formal complaint with Cyber Crime Police and pursue strict legal action against media outlets and individuals who circulated the images. The accusation targets the ruling Congress administration for allegedly deploying synthetic media to mislead the public. BRS has not yet provided independent forensic verification to substantiate the claim of artificial generation. The Congress government has not publicly responded to the allegations as of this report. This dispute highlights growing tensions regarding deepfake proliferation in Indian regional politics. Legal experts note that prosecuting political entities for AI misuse remains legally complex under current Indian cybercrime statutes. The outcome may influence how electoral bodies handle future synthetic media complaints during active governance periods.
