In actor Rashmika Mandanna’s deepfake video case, Delhi Police on Saturday arrested the main accused from Andhra Pradesh, who was involved in creating a fake, Artificial intelligence (AI) powered video, that went viral on social media platforms.

In the video, the face of actor Rashmika was superimposed on the face of British influencer Zara Patel. After spotting the video on X, Rashmika expressed her concern over the AI-powered fake video. She said I feel really hurt to share this and have to talk about the deepfake video of me being spread online. Something like this is honestly, extremely scary not only for me, but also for each one of us who today is vulnerable to so much harm because of how technology is being misused, the Animal actor added. 

She further said that as a woman and as an actor, I am thankful for my family, friends and well-wishers who are my protection and support system. But if this happened to me when I was in school or college, I genuinely can’t imagine how could I ever tackle this. We need to address this as a community and with urgency before more of us are affected by such identity theft, the Mission Majnu actor said. 

On Rashmika’s fake video, Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan shared his concern and said this is a strong case for legal.

Several actors and directors across the film industry expressed their concern over the deepfake videos being circulated on social media platforms and their encounter with such fake videos.

The investigation into the actor case has been going on since November last year.

According to reports, Delhi Police interrogated several social media users who shared Rashmika’s deepfake video but failed to apprehend the accused until now.

Earlier, the Delhi Commission for Women had also requested action in relation to the actor Rashmika Mandanna’s deepfake video that went viral on social media.

On November 18, Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Union Minister for Communications, Electronics, and IT, announced that letters had been sent to all social media sites instructing them to take the appropriate action to locate and delete such content.

Police said on Wednesday that they have tracked down four of people who uploaded a deepfake video of actor Rashmika Mandanna online and are currently searching for the main conspirator.

The police said that they were still searching for the main conspirator in the case and that the four defendants had actually turned out to be uploaders rather than makers.

Three of the four suspects have been followed up on thanks to information given by Meta, the business that owns and runs social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The accused allegedly withdrew and deleted information from their accounts, making it harder for investigators to find them, which presented a challenge to the investigation. The primary conspirator behind the post is currently being sought for by the cyber experts of the Delhi Police.

The actor was probably using a fictitious identity when uploading the deepfake movies, and the usage of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) makes it even harder to find the culprit.

The deepfake AI-generated video of actress Rashmika Mandanna was the subject of a First Information Report (FIR) filed by the Delhi Police at the Special Cell one month ago.

Prior to this, the Delhi Commission for Women had also requested action in relation to the actress Rashmika Mandanna deepfake video that went viral on social media.

On November 18, Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Union Minister for Communications, Electronics, and IT, announced that letters had been sent to all social media sites instructing them to take the appropriate action to locate and delete such content.

After receiving a letter from the Delhi Police IFSO (Internet Freedom and Safety for Online Users) section, Meta (previously Facebook) replied that it was unable to disclose information about the deleted account.

According to the sources, since GoDaddy is a publicly traded internet domain registration, a similar profile was also created through GoDaddy, and the police are waiting for a response.

As soon as the video went viral, a number of people on social media confirmed that it was a deepfake.
