Bhubaneswar: A 22-year-old man was arrested Sunday for allegedly circulating an AI-generated morphed video containing “obscene and defamatory” content targeting Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on social media, police said.
Biswajit Sahu, a resident of Jagatpur in Cuttack district, was arrested in connection with a case registered at the Cyber Crime and Economic Offences police station in Bhubaneswar Saturday, they said.
