Deepfake Bill in the Lok Sabha
The incident comes at a time when concerns around deepfake misuse are rising nationally. On Friday, Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde introduced a Private Member’s Bill in the Lok Sabha titled The Regulation of Deepfake Bill. The proposed legislation seeks to establish a clear legal framework to curb deepfake-related offences.
The Bill mandates prior consent from individuals before their likeness can be used in AI-generated or manipulated content. It further proposes strict penalties for those creating or circulating deepfake material with malicious intent, aiming to safeguard citizens from reputational harm, privacy violations, and exploitation.
As the investigation progresses, Hyderabad police have urged citizens to refrain from sharing unverified content, especially videos that may be digitally altered, and to report suspicious material immediately.
