Satara police detain 2 for creating morphed video of doctors from Karad
Kolhapur: Satara police detained two people for allegedly creating an indecent AI-manipulated video featuring two women doctors from Karad town with male companions.
A prominent woman doctor filed a police complaint on May 20, stating she had been added to a social media group where the manipulated video was distributed.
Police investigation revealed that the video originated from outside Maharashtra.
Further inquiries showed that a naturopathy practitioner from Karad had provided the doctors' contact details and source material used for the manipulated video.
"We have found one such video. We have detained two and are carrying out the investigation," said inspector R A Tashildar, of the Karad city police station.
Initial investigations suggest that the naturopathy practitioner's facility was shut following a complaint by one of the women doctors, which could be a possible motive. "We are exploring multiple angles," said Tashildar.
