An image showing a 16-year-old boy in Muslim attire kissing a Hindu woman is going viral on social media. Fact check analysis however revealed that the image is not real, but generated by AI.
BOOM found that the AI-generated photo showing the Hindu woman kissing the minor Muslim was neither reported or posted by NDTV India nor it found any news reports that corroborated the claim.
Using the keywords - like the names mentioned in the caption, BOOM did not find any credible news reports about any such case reported by any other publisher.
BOOM also tested the viral photo using a deepfake detection tool created by TrueMedia.org. The results showed that it has substantial evidence of manipulation of it being AI-generated.
