Police here have registered eight FIRs against as many people, including Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh, and Congress leader Pappu Yadav, for allegedly circulating AI-generated images, videos, and misleading information on social media about the redevelopment work at the Manikarnika Ghat.

The ghat is among the oldest and most sacred cremation grounds in Hinduism. Reacting to the FIR against him, AAP's Singh claimed the redevelopment work had caused destruction at Manikarnika Ghat. Temples were damaged, and a statue of Ahilyabai Holkar was broken, drawing protests from sadhus and others, he alleged.

According to police, fake and misleading videos and AI-generated images, allegedly linked to Hindu deities, were circulated on X with the intent to hurt religious sentiments, spread misinformation, provoke public anger and disturb social harmony.
