Overview

• A Delhi BJP worker, Sanket Gupta, filed a complaint in Delhi over the AI-labelled clip, and police said no FIR has been registered as an inquiry is underway.
• The Bihar Congress announced an internal investigation to identify and penalize those behind posting the video on its X account.
• Maharashtra BJP leaders held demonstrations in Mumbai and Nashik condemning the clip as an insult to mothers and demanding accountability.
• The 36-second video, posted September 10 and marked “AI GENERATED” with the caption “Maa appears in sahab’s dreams,” shows a Modi lookalike rebuked by a figure resembling his late mother.
• BJP and NDA leaders denounced the post and sought apologies, while Congress figures, including Pawan Khera, defended it as a symbolic critique; the row follows an earlier Darbhanga incident where a man was arrested over alleged abuses directed at the PM’s mother.
