Bengaluru: Former Union Minister and BJP’s Bangalore North MP DV Sadananda Gowda has filed a complaint with the cybercrime police after a sleaze video purportedly showing him went viral on social media.
He tweeted, ‘A morphed (deep fake) video of mine has been making rounds on social media. I would like to inform that, it is not me in the video, it’s created to malign my impeccable image by my adversaries with a vested interest.’
The complaint filed by his counsel with the Cyber Crime Offences and Narcotics Police Station, North Division, in Bengaluru read: ‘I have reliably learnt that politically motivated fake, fabricated, concocted video has been made by making use of our MP D V Sadananda Gowda.’
‘The same is being circulated on social media and Facebook. The said creation of the video is only to tarnish his image. The same is politically motivated. The said video came to be created by way of impersonation. It is uploaded on Facebook, Whatsapp and other social media,’ it added.
