Hyderabad: BRS legal cell State panelist Gautam Prasad Nimburi, along with members of the party’s legal cell, lodged a complaint with the Banjara Hills police seeking criminal action over an alleged AI-morphed video targeting BRS leaders K Chandrashekhar Rao, KT Rama Rao and J Santosh Kumar.

In his complaint, Gautam Prasad alleged that the X account “@raretelangana” posted the video on October 1, using scenes from a Telugu film with fabricated dialogues and synthetic voices. He said the video falsely projected prominent film actors as endorsing serious allegations against Chandrashekhar Rao and his family.
