Overview

• BJD IT and social media head Amar Patnaik asked Odisha DGP Y B Khurania to register a case over offensive videos posted on Facebook.
• The posts, described by the party as AI-generated, allegedly defame Naveen Patnaik, V K Pandian, and Sujata R Karthikeyan.
• The complaint names the Facebook account 'Odiaka Chhata' and requests action to trace those responsible for creating and sharing the content.
• BJD urged Meta to remove the posts immediately and sought criminal proceedings against the handlers, citing the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Information Technology Act, 2000.
• Amar Patnaik warned that lack of action would be seen as politically motivated, while reports so far note no confirmation of police steps or a Meta response.
