A 25-year-old migrant worker from Bihar Hazrat Ali Shoaib has been arrested for allegedly creating and posting an AI-generated video depicting a bomb blast at Vidhana Soudha, the seat of the Karnataka legislature in Bengaluru, as reported in Times of India.
The accused is a native of Araria district in Bihar and has been working in Bengaluru as a daily-wage labourer and pipe-fitter for the past few months, police said.
According to officials, the video surfaced on Tuesday morning on an Instagram account named ‘jnxkingh_g’. It begins with footage of the exterior of Vidhana Soudha before using AI-generated visual effects to depict a massive explosion inside the historic building.
In the video, Ali allegedly pretends to fire a pistol towards the building while saying, ‘Vidhanasabha uda diya bam se’ (Blew up assembly with a bomb).
Following the incident, Vidhana Soudha police registered a First Information Report (FIR) and traced the internet protocol (IP) logs and digital footprints associated with the Instagram account. The investigation led to Ali’s arrest.
