Fake AI Videos of PM Modi, FM Sitharaman Promoting Schemes Debunked by PIB

Clarification and public advisory  
On November 21, 2025, PIB’s Fact Check unit issued a warning against circulating or believing such videos. The manipulated clips also feature other leaders, including External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, falsely promoting “guaranteed profit” schemes. Officials stressed that no such investment program exists and urged citizens to verify suspicious content before sharing or investing. The government emphasized that these scams exploit trust in public figures to lure people into fraudulent platforms.
