Delhi Court Grants Bail in Case Over AI-Morphed Image of PM Modi and Shah Rukh Khan

A Delhi court granted bail to 34-year-old Mujahid Jamal Shaikh, who was accused of posting an AI-morphed image depicting Prime Minister Narendra Modi bowing to actor Shah Rukh Khan.

Additional Sessions Judge of the Patiala House Courts noted that the accused has deep roots in society and no prior criminal record.

The Court observed that since the evidence is primarily electronic and the petitioner's mobile phone is already seized, there is no risk of evidence tampering.

While the Delhi Police allAn eged the post could promote disharmony, the Court prioritized procedural cooperation and ordered an inquiry into the authenticity of certain arrest documents.
