*Viral AI-Edited Image Exposed; Original Photo Shows Truth*

*Srinagar, 04 September:*
_APINEWS Report | Murtaza Mushtaq_

A viral picture circulating on social media which showed a BJP stalwart javid Qureshi placing his hand on a woman leader's shoulder has turned out to be *AI-generated and fake*.

The fact-check of the image reveals that the upper photo marked as "AI" is edited, while the *original photo (lower) clearly shows the man's hand was not on the woman's shoulder, but he was holding her arm/sleeve in a crowded rally.*

The incident has once again raised serious concerns over the misuse of Artificial Intelligence to defame individuals and spread misinformation on social media. Netizens have demanded strict action against those creating and sharing such fake AI images.

Public is requested not to share unverified and AI-morphed images and to verify facts before posting.
