Mumbai, August 1: Maharashtra Cyber has registered an FIR against an unidentified individual concerning an allegedly provocative video posted on the social media platform X. This case is linked to a video shared on the official account of Congress leader Bhai Jagatap. Although the video was posted from his account, the FIR has been filed against an unknown accused.
The complainant stated in his police report that on July 31, around 2:00 PM, he was browsing his social media account when he came across a post from Bhai Jagatap’s X account. The post featured a video with the caption, “Serious allegations against the government by Delhi Police.”
In the video, a person, identified as an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, declares, “I am resigning from the Indian Police Service with immediate effect. The government expected me to lie in front of the press about students demanding their rights on the streets. I was instructed to portray them as criminals, but I cannot be part of any system that prevents me from speaking the truth and forces me to trap innocent students. These students are not terrorists; they are the future of our country. I chose a police career to stand for the truth, not to sell lies. I cannot be a part of this government’s actions. From today, I stand with these students, not with the government.”
According to the complainant, this video is a fake creation aided by AI, with artificial alterations to the voice and dialogue of a Delhi Police officer.
Additionally, the Delhi Police’s PIB (Press Information Bureau) declared the video entirely fake after a fact-check conducted on July 28, 2026. PIB also shared this information on its official social media platforms. Despite this, the video was broadcast from Bhai Jagatap’s X account on July 30 at 6:09 PM without verifying its authenticity. The complainant alleges that the intent behind this was to create confusion in society, spread misinformation against the government, and incite public discontent and disorder.
The Maharashtra Cyber Cell is currently investigating digital evidence, technical details of the account, and other aspects related to the post.
