The FIRs were registered on complaints by BJP accusing AAP of posting AI-generated videos of its leaders and also for spreading misinformation and attempting to destroy communal harmony
January 15, 2025 - Five FIRs have been filed against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on complaints by the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) accusing AAP of posting AI-generated fake videos to tarnish the images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. The videos, according to the complainant, were posted on January 10 and 13 on AAP’s official X handle, said the police.
According to the police, the complaints include spreading misinformation, accusations of defamation and violation of electoral ethics and communal harmony. The first FIR was registered on January 13 following a complaint from the BJP Delhi unit office secretary Brijesh Rai accusing AAP of trying to “destroy communal harmony” by spreading misinformation. He has also made allegations against current Delhi Chief Minister Atishi Marlena, Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann of discriminatory statements against the people of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
Four complaints were filed by Rai while one was filed by Sanket Gupta, the convenor of BJP’s Election Cell.
AAP has refuted the allegations and said the BJP was trying to divert public opinion from real issues plaguing Delhi as elections approach. The “selective use of power and abuse of State machinery exposes BJP’s fear of AAP’s growing popularity and commitment to the public good”, the ruling party of Delhi said.
"However, no FIR will be filed against BJP leaders who are blatantly involved in illegal activities like manipulating voter lists — adding fake entries and deleting genuine voters — or those who are trying to buy votes by handing out cash and gifts," it alleged.
Investigations are underway.
