    Actor Rashmilka Mandanna's Deepfake Creator Arrested In Delhi

    Actor Rashmika Mandanna's deepfake video went viral on social media in November last year, prompting widespread calls for regulations on social media platforms.
    The man responsible for actor Rashmika Mandanna's deepfake video was arrested today, Delhi police said. The video went viral on social media in November last year, prompting widespread calls for regulations on social media platforms.
    The deepfake video in question initially showcased British-Indian influencer Zara Patel, entering a lift in a black outfit. However, through the use of deepfake technology, Ms Patel's face seamlessly morphed into that of Ms Mandanna.

    Expressing her dismay, Ms Mandanna described the ordeal as "extremely scary" and highlighted the vulnerability individuals face due to the misuse of technology. "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," she remarked after the incident.

    The aftermath of the viral deepfake video prompted the Centre to issue an advisory to social media platforms, stressing the legal provisions covering deepfakes and the potential penalties associated with their creation and circulation.
