Sadhvi Harsha Richhariya, who gained attention during the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela, filed a complaint at the Bhopal cyber crime office on Friday, 13 November, alleging online harassment. She accused people of making objectionable comments and using artificial intelligence to create and spread fake images and videos to defame her. Richhariya stated that fake accounts on platforms including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and X are using her photos to create obscene AI-generated content. She said she had earlier filed a complaint in 2025, leading to arrests and convictions, but similar activities have resumed. She expects significant revelations in the case within the next 10 to 15 days.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both Amar Ujala and Dainik Bhaskar report the same core event, Richhariya filing a cyber complaint over AI-generated obscene content, in a neutral, fact-based manner. Bhaskar adds greater detail, including her previous 2025 complaint, the arrest of accused, her expectation of a breakthrough in 10 to 15 days, and her broader remarks on women's safety and threats within the Sanatan community. Amar Ujala covers the basic complaint without these specifics. The two accounts are consistent and neither adopts a critical or favourable stance toward any party. The case now awaits police investigation, with Richhariya pledging to name those responsible once it concludes.
