Lighthouse Journalism found an image being widely circulated on social media platforms. The image claimed to show Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke.
During the investigation we found that the viral image is AI-generated. There are no reports of PM Modi and CJP’s Dipke meeting each other.
X user @shravanGarg shared the viral picture with a false claim.
इस फोटो को मोदीजी की पिछली अमेरिका यात्रा के समय का बताकर प्रसारित किया जा रहा है ! क्या यह असली हो सकता है ? AI जनरेटेड तो नहीं लगता ? pic.twitter.com/pf8etiPoon
Other users are also sharing the same image with a similar claim.
ये है काकरोच का असली चेहरा.. बाकी आप सब समझदार है….परधान का इस्तिफा का भीख मांग रहे थे जंतर मंतर पर….मिला कि नही… pic.twitter.com/KWC8CMuofl
ये फोटो उतनी ही असली है जितनी उद्धव ठाकरे की शिवसेना 🤣😹 pic.twitter.com/gY0h02U2oG
CJP connection is exposed ..Dupeke met Dupeke. pic.twitter.com/RsLQ3c25Kr
We started the investigation by running a reverse image search on the viral picture. However, no credible websites carried this picture.
However, the picture was widely shared after Maharashtra’s Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut shared the image on his social media platform, which he later deleted.
He also alleged during a press conference that PM and CJP’s Dipke had met earlier in the US.
Sanjay Raut On Abhijeet Dipke : मोदी-दिपकेंची अमेरिकेत भेट, राऊतांचा दावा अभिजीत दिपकेंनी फेटाळला#Sanjayraut #Ahijetdipke pic.twitter.com/3BES8Y8t9l
However, these were still allegations and there were no pictures to support the claims.
We then ran the image through an AI image detector.
We ran the clear image through HIVE’s AI content detector, which suggested the image was AI-generated.
We also ran the image through Sightengine and ZeroGPT’s AI image detectors and found that it was AI-generated.
Conclusion: CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke did not meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The viral image is AI-generated and is being shared with false claims.
