Renowned singer Neha Kakkar made headlines recently after photos of her getting arrested in connection to a trading scam case went viral online. However, turns out that the photos have been falsely generated using artificial intelligence (AI) and that the singer has no involvement in the case.
Several photos have been doing the rounds on the internet in which Neha can be seen crying as police personnel arrested her. The photos were shared with the caption, "Tragic end to Neha Kakkar's career! This morning's news was a shock to all Indian people! (sic)."
The photos also came with links, however, when clicked on them, the links redirected the reader to a malicious website carrying a fake interview in the name of Neha promoting 'Emarlado'.
But turns out that the photos are fake and AI-generated, and Neha has nothing to do with the website or the alleged scam. The pictures were that of another woman being arrested and her face was swapped with that of Neha's.
The singer and her team are yet to release an official statement on the same.
Earlier, names of celebs like Amitabh Bachchan and Ranveer Singh were also used to lure people to the investment scam website. The fraudulent posts showed Big B and Ranveer endorsing the platform, and making claims of high monetary returns with minimal investment.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Neha Kakkar was last seen as one of the judges on Superstar Singer Season 3.She is currently busy with the promotions of her next single, titled Moon Calling, featuring Gur Sidhu.
