The Delhi Police on Saturday arrested the main culprit behind a deepfake video featuring actor Rashmika Mandanna that went viral in November 2023. The police filed a case under Sections 465 and 469 of the Indian Penal Code, which deal with forgery and defamation, as well as the Information Technology Act. The video in question featured British-Indian influencer Zara Patel entering a lift in a black outfit. Using deepfake technology, Patel's face was seamlessly replaced with that of Mandanna.
