Centre dismisses fake AI video of Nirmala Sitharaman promoting investment plan
The PIB has issued a warning regarding a deceptive AI-manipulated video of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Facebook. The clip incorrectly depicts her supporting an investment program that guarantees weekly returns of ₹5.5 lakh on a deposit of ₹22,000. According to the PIB, neither the Finance Minister nor the government has backed or advertised any such initiative. They have urged the public to confirm the authenticity of such offers through official channels before putting any money into them.
