Delhi: Man nabbed from Palam for morphing woman’s pics

Delhi: A 21-year-old man was arrested for allegedly using AI tools to morph a college student’s photos into explicit images and uploading them using fake social media accounts created in her name, police said on Wednesday.

The man, whose identity was not revealed, was nabbed from the Palam area.

“A complaint was lodged on June 16 by a woman who reported that the accused created new fake social media profiles daily using her images, accompanied by defamatory and derogatory captions,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Amit Goel said in a statement.

The accused was booked under sections 78 (stalking) and 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the BNS at the Southwest Cyber Police Station.

Goel said that the man impersonated the victim by using her publicly available profile photo, which he also made explicit with AI.

“He also sent ‘follow’ requests to the complainant and her social media followers using the fake accounts, aiming to defame and humiliate her within her social circle,” the DCP said.

“After multiple raids and continuous surveillance, the accused was apprehended from Palam Village. He confessed to the crime during interrogation,” the officer said.

Police have sent the man’s phone for forensic examination to check if he targeted more people.

But once abroad, that glossy dream often gives way to far grimmer realities. From predatory landlords to crushing loneliness, exploitative employers to subtle and overt racism, the lived experience of Indian students in foreign countries is riddled with challenges. Through conversations with students across the UK, Canada, Italy, and beyond, Patriot pieces together the emotional, financial and social cost of that coveted foreign degree.
