The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has identified fake videos circulating on social media that falsely depict the Governor promoting or endorsing certain investment schemes. These videos, created using advanced technological tools, are designed to mislead the public into investing in these fraudulent schemes. Earlier, Actress Rashmika’s DeepFake video has gone viral.
