KOLHAPUR – In a shocking case of cyber harassment, two women doctors from Karad town in Maharashtra have become the latest victims of malicious artificial intelligence (AI) misuse. Satara police have detained two individuals following the circulation of an obscene AI-generated video, which falsely depicted the doctors with male companions on social media.
The incident came to light after one of the targeted doctors filed a formal complaint on May 20, reporting that she had been added to a social media group where the manipulated video was being shared. Police investigations traced the origin of the video to a location outside Maharashtra.
According to Inspector R. A. Tashildar of Karad city police station, “We have found one such video. We have detained two and are carrying out the investigation.” The police also revealed that a naturopathy practitioner from Karad allegedly provided both the contact details and source material—possibly photos or videos—that were used to create the manipulated content. Investigators believe the attack may have been motivated by personal grievance, as the naturopathy clinic was reportedly shut down following a complaint by one of the targeted doctors, potentially triggering the retaliatory act.
The case has sparked concern in Satara and highlights the growing threat posed by deepfakes and AI-generated content, especially when used to harass or defame individuals.
