Photo Showing Pregnant Hindu Woman Kissing Minor Muslim Boy Is AI Generated

An AI generated photo of a pregnant Hindu woman kissing a minor Muslim boy is being shared, falsely attributed to Hindi news outlet NDTV India with a false and communal claim that it is a real incident from Uttarakhand.

The graphic claims that in Nainital in Uttarakhand a 38-year-old woman got pregnant by a 16-year-old minor boy.

The AI photo with the logo of NDTV India is being shared with a sarcastic caption that claims, "the new brother-in-law of blind devotees is just 16 years old"
