Cyber police register case against X user over deepfake video of Ranveer

Mumbai: The cyber cell of Maharashtra police on Tuesday registered an FIR against an X user for allegedly uploading a `deepfake' or manipulated video where actor Ranveer Singh appeared to be making an appeal to vote for Congress.

The FIR was registered on a complaint filed by the actor's father, Jugjeet Singh Bhavnani, against the user @ sujataindia1st.

Deepfake videos are videos that have been altered to misrepresent someone as doing or saying something that was not actually done or said.

Recently, city police had registered an FIR against an unidentified person in connection with a similar deepfake video of actor Aamir Khan. (PTI)
