Babydoll Archi: Indian woman's identity stolen for erotic AI content in deepfake deception

It took just a few days for Indian Instagram sensation Babydoll Archi to double her following to 1.4 million, thanks to a couple of viral social media was a video that showed her in a red sari, dancing seductively to Dame Un Grr – a Romanian song. And a photo posted on the platform showed her posing with American adult film star Kendra everyone wanted to know about her - and the name Babydoll Archi trended in Google search and spawned countless memes and fan pages. But there was one issue about to emerge – there was no real woman behind the online Instagram account was fake, although the face it used had uncanny likeness to a real woman - a homemaker in Dibrugarh city in Assam, whom we'll call truth unravelled after her brother lodged a police complaint. Pratim Bora, Sanchi's ex-boyfriend, was police officer Sizal Agarwal who's heading the investigation told the BBC that Sanchi and Bora had a falling out and the AI likeness he created was to exact "pure revenge" on - a mechanical engineer and a self-taught artificial intelligence (AI) enthusiast - used private photos of Sanchi to create a fake profile, Ms Agarwal is in custody and has not made any statements yet. The BBC has reached out to his family and will update the article when they Archi was created in 2020 and the first uploads were made in May 2021. The initial photos were her real pictures that had been morphed, Ms Agarwal said."As time passed, Bora used tools such as ChatGPT and Dzine to create an AI version. He then populated the handle with deepfake photos and videos."The account started picking up likes from last year but it started gaining traction from April this year, she short two-paragraph complaint to the police submitted by Sanchi's family on the night of 11 July came with printouts of some photos and videos as Agarwal says it did not name anyone because they had no idea who could be behind it. Babydoll Archi was not an unfamiliar name for the police. Ms Agarwal says they had also seen media reports and comments speculating that she was AI generated, but there had been no suggestion that it was based on a real they received the complaint, police wrote to Instagram asking for the details of the account's creator."Once we received information from Instagram, we asked Sanchi if she knew any Pratim Bora. Once she confirmed, we traced his address in the neighbouring district of Tinsukia. We arrested him on the evening of 12 July."Ms Agarwal says the police have "seized his laptop, mobile phones and hard drives and his bank documents since he had monetised the account"."The account had 3,000 subscriptions on linktree and we believe he had earned 1m rupees from it. We believe he made 300,000 rupees in just five days before his arrest," she added. Ms Agarwal says Sanchi is "extremely distraught - but now she and her family are receiving counselling and they are doing better".There really is no way to prevent something like this from happening, "but had we acted earlier, we could have prevented it from gaining so much traction", Ms Agarwal said."But Sanchi had no idea because she has no social media presence. Her family too had been blocked out from this account. They became aware only once it went viral," she has not responded to the BBC queries on the case, but it generally does not allow posting of nudity or sexual content. And last month, CBS reported that it removed a number of ads promoting AI tools used to create sexually explicit deepfakes using images of real people. The Instagram account of Babydoll Archi, which had 282 posts, is no longer available to public - although social media is replete with her photos and videos and one Instagram account seems to have all of them. The BBC has asked Meta what they are planning to do about Bal, AI expert and lawyer, says what happened to Sanchi "is horrible but almost impossible to prevent".She can go to the court and seek the right to be forgotten, and a court can order the press reports that named her to be taken down but it's hard to scrub all the trace from the happened to Sanchi, she says, is what's always been happening to women, where their photos and videos are circulated as revenge."It's now a lot easier to do because of AI, but such incidents are still not as common as we expect - or they could be under-reported because of stigma or people being targeted may not even know about it as in the present case," Ms Bal says. And people watching it had no incentive to report it to the social media platform or cybercrime portal, she their complaint against Mr Bora, police have invoked sections of law that deal with sexual harassment, distribution of obscene material, defamation, forgery to harm reputation, cheating by personification and cybercrime. If found guilty, Mr Bora could get up to 10 years in case which has also led to outrage on social media in recent days has seen some seeking tougher laws to deal with such Bal believes there are enough laws to take care of such cases, but whether there's scope for new laws to deal with generative AI companies has to be looked at."But we also have to remember that deepfakes are not necessarily bad and laws have to be carefully crafted because they can be weaponised to chill free speech."Follow BBC News India on Instagram, YouTube, X and Facebook

Crispy air fryer chicken hack using one ingredient found in most kitchens

The recipe for the best air fried crispy chicken is here (Image: Getty Images) There's no better feeling than the perfect bite of super crispy chicken. Even with thousands of recipes online, it seems to be impossible to make the perfect crispy chicken using an air fryer. Air fryers have facilitated the way we cook. Delivering delicious meals in no time, compared to the traditional cooking methods, they've become a kitchen's best friend. When it comes to crispy fried chicken, that's another level. But don't worry, The Kitchn has revealed its most well-kept recipe, and it's all thanks to a recent hack posted by a culinary savvy. Sarah Bahn, also known as @groovyfoodiess, left her 11 million followers in awe with her recipe for a Taiwanese popcorn chicken. READ MORE: Scrambled eggs will have the 'perfect flavour' if 1 ingredient is added The secret ingredient is potato starch (Stock Image) (Image: Getty Images) Right at the start of the video, it was going to be a crunchy bite. In the Instagram clip, which has accumulated hundreds of thousands of views, she proceeds to marinate the chicken thighs with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar, Shaoxing wine, 5-spice, white pepper and msg. Then, she covered the chicken with egg white and the secret technique, coating the chicken pieces with potato starch before putting them in the air fryer. As the video went viral, her followers flooded the comments section. One wrote: 'That looks so crispy and yummy,' with a second one adding: 'I made this and it was bomb!!' Sarah is a content creator whose fame has come from videos on social media, specialising in home-cooked dishes. With over 300 different recipes posted on her Instagram account, she has become a household name in the online culinary world. READ MORE: Bake your scones 'soft and light' by swapping out two key ingredients As potato starch seems to be the key ingredient, Sarena Shasteen, who's a culinary content specialist and marketing community engagement strategist at Bob's Red Mill, told The Kitchn: "Potato starch is the perfect alternative to cornstarch when making extra-crispy chicken or tofu. "Because it's able to tolerate higher temperatures than cornstarch, it can stay longer in ovens, deep fryers, or air fryers, which allows for a crispier texture without burning as easily.' And that's it, thanks to the recipe for the best air-fried crispy chicken. No more soggy bites, simply enjoy the flavour and the crunch. What's good about air fryers is that they're more efficient and less messy. You can pop in a few ingredients, set the timer, and while you're doing other things, your food is ready in no time. Even better, the taste is so good, it almost feels like a home-cooked meal.

Ozzy Osbourne's final Black Sabbath show just weeks ago

The legendary rocker passed away at the age of 76 'surrounded by love' it was announced by his family earlier tonight (July 22). He had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. Appearing on a large black throne in Villa Park, Birmingham, he told thousands of heavy metal enthusiasts on July 5 that it was 'so good to be on this stage'. I have been a Black Sabbath fan almost my entire life. And when I say Black Sabbath I mean the band with Ozzy Osbourne in it. Everything else was business. They were just immense. A thundering voice and noise direct from the working class. — Danny Baker (@prodnose) July 22, 2025 Osbourne and his fellow original Black Sabbath members – Iommi, Butler and Ward – were the last to appear on stage as part of a star-studded line-up for the Back to the Beginning concert. Among the bands performing were Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N'Roses, and there were messages of thanks from other celebrities, including Jack Black, Ricky Gervais and Dolly Parton. In an emotional moment, Osbourne said: 'I don't know what to say, man, I've been laid up for like six years. You have no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart.' Ozzy Osbourne's last social media post A post shared on Instagram just one day ago showed an empty corridor at Villa Park and a flier that remains following the show. Fans were quick to comment with their sadness this evening (July 22) following Ozzy's passing. What was Ozzy Osbourne's biggest hit? Ozzy's biggest hit is considered to be 'Crazy Train'. While it didn't top the Billboard Hot 100, it's noted as 'a classic of the heavy metal genre', released in 1980. Other notable hits and fan favourites include Mama, I'm Coming Home, No More Tears and a duet with his daughter Kelly Osbourne, on 'Changes' which topped the UK charts in 2003.
