Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police have filed an FIR against Meta India director Arun Srinivas and unnamed social media users for circulating AI-generated videos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Facebook and Instagram. Investigators are analysing the origin of the manipulated clips and whether they violated the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and IT Act. Meta has not commented on the FIR. Separately, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology held a third round of talks with Meta’s technical team on Friday, focusing on platform algorithms and content moderation safeguards. The discussions follow Meta’s temporary restriction of a Modi Facebook post on July 28, which the company blamed on an automated error.
