“To increase the followers, the accused created the deepfake video of the actress and posted it on the fan page on 13th October 2023," Dy Commissioner of Police IFSO Hemant Tiwari told a press conference here.

The accused did B-Tech in Electronics and Communication in 2021 and was providing services of Photoshop, Instagram channel promotion, YouTube video creation/editing and SEO on the basis of charges, the police officer said.

 

During questioning, the accused said he was operating fan pages of the said actress and two more renowned celebrities, Tiwari said, adding Naveen was managing all three pages and uploading original and clean videos.

 

However, the accused deleted the said post from the Instagram channel and also changed the name of the Insta channel. He had also deleted the relevant digital data from his devices.
