The story

A Kashmiri government official is facing public criticism after allegedly claiming a video featuring the region’s president was AI-generated, a statement the president subsequently denied. Critic Imran N Dar publicly demanded an apology on September 10, 2026, asserting the official spread misleading information about the Jantar Mantar footage and failed to retract the allegation despite the contradiction. The dispute centers on accusations that the official promoted a right-wing narrative regarding Kashmir history while misidentifying authentic media as synthetic. No independent forensic verification of the video’s authenticity has been released. The controversy underscores growing tensions over AI misinformation claims in regional politics and the reputational damage caused when such allegations are contested by primary sources.
