Edited Video Falsely Shows Piyush Goyal Threatening CJP Protesters

  • On Saturday, July 25, 2026, Union Minister Piyush Goyal filed a police complaint after an AI-generated deepfake video falsely depicted him threatening students protesting the NEET examination. An FIR was registered at Chanakyapuri Police Station.
  • The manipulated clip originated amid ongoing demonstrations at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, organized by the Cockroach Janata Party over NEET irregularities. Goyal alleged his remarks outside Parliament were "maliciously" altered to spread misinformation.
  • On Friday evening, the PIB Fact-Check Unit warned that Pakistani propaganda accounts were circulating the video. Government sources initiated takedowns of numerous social media links spreading the deceptive content.
  • Warning that "strict" legal action will be taken against those involved, Goyal urged public caution. "I have complete faith that India's aware and tech-savvy citizens, especially our youth, will not fall prey to such misinformation," he stated.
  • Goyal asserted that irresponsible AI misuse cannot and will not be tolerated, reflecting broader concerns over artificial intelligence being weaponized to mislead the public during the ongoing student protests.
