Deep fake AI video impersonating Vijay : TN CB-CID police files chargesheet in the case

Chennai, Nov 12 (UNI) The Crime Branch-CID (CBCID) Wing of the Tamil Nadu police on Thursday filed the chargesheet against the key accused in the case relating to Deep fake AI video impersonating Vijay and sharing it on purportedly Pakistan-based Facebook IDs and other social media platforms with an intention to cheat the people.
The chargesheet was filed by online before the XIth Saidapet Metropolitan Magistrate within 60 days of the arrest of the accused Shyabu Khan (28) of Alwar in Rajasthan for circulating the Deep Fake video with Hindi audio. He was charged for offences under various sections of the BNS and the Information Technology Act.
Shyabu Khan was arrested with the assistance of Rajasthan Police on September 12. Mobile phones, SIM cards and a CPU allegedly used in the offence were seized from him.
Police have also detected similar videos being circulated through Facebook accounts purportedly operated from Pakistan and are probing whether there is any link between those accounts and the present case.
It said during the regular cyber patrolling, the Cyber Crime team of CB-CID came across AI generated deep fake videos with Hindi audio impersonating the Chief Minister on Facebook, which were created and circulated on Facebook and other social media platforms with an intention to cheat the innocent people. In these videos, general public were asked to contact a WhatsApp number for any financial help.
In this regard, based on the special report, a case was registered in Cyber Crime Cell, CBCID u/s 204, 318(2), 319(2), 336(3) and 340(2) of BNS 2023 and under Sec 66C and 66D of IT Act 2000 on September one and taken up for investigation, which revealed that scammers used these AI-generated videos to defraud multiple people across Madhya Pradesh and other states, operating with total impunity.
Apart from taking down these deep fake AI videos, the probe team obtained data from the intermediaries and service providers, carried out in-depth analysis of the digital trails, and mapped out the suspect's movements in the hinterlands of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
Subsequently, an operation was planned by senior officers of CBCID, through several technical analysis, and inter-state police coordination. Two special teams were marched to Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh to track down the accused. After an intensive search, with the assistance of Rajasthan Police, one of the key accused, Shyabu Khan, of Boontoli, Lachhmangarh, Alwar, Rajasthan was nabbed in the interior part of Alwar district and several electronic gadgets seized.
Further, tracing the Digital footprints of the above-mentioned accused led CBCID to a fraud victim in Madhya Pradesh, whose testimony and evidence has strengthened the case of prosecution against the arrested Shyabu Khan, secured in Rajasthan.
The investigation is continuing to determine whether the accused acted alone or as part of a wider network. Further, it is also ascertained that many such videos are being shared on purportedly Pakistan based Facebook IDs.
Despite the operational challenges involved, extensive digital probing was also carried out to identify the foreign perpetrators and expose any local accomplices, following which the final report was filed today.
