Thane (PTI): Police have registered a case against a man from Navi Mumbai for allegedly uploading on social media an AI-generated video containing objectionable references to Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan Gavai, officials said on Thursday.
The accused, identified as a resident of Panvel in Navi Mumbai, used Artificial Intelligence tools to fabricate a video containing derogatory references to CJI Gavai, they said.
A person from Panvel saw the video shared across multiple social media platforms on Tuesday and filed a complaint, an official from Panvel Taluka police station said.
Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered against the accused on Wednesday under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act), and efforts were on to trace him, the official said.
Cyber experts have also been roped in to trace the original source and production process of the video, he said.
"We are verifying the IP addresses and digital footprints involved in the circulation of the video," the official said.
The police have also issued directives to various social media platforms to remove the objectionable content immediately, he said.
Earlier, on Monday, a lawyer attempted to hurl a shoe towards CJI Gavai in his courtroom in the Supreme Court in New Delhi, prompting the Bar Council of India to suspend his license with immediate effect.

PM Modi meets Dutch royals in Netherlands, discusses cooperation in technology, innovation
The Hague (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday met King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima at the Royal Palace and discussed close cooperation in digital technology, innovation, fintech and blue economy.
Modi arrived in the Netherlands on Friday - after a brief stopover in the UAE - on the second leg of his five-nation tour that also includes Sweden, Norway and Italy.
"Met His Majesty King Willem-Alexander and Her Majesty Queen Máxima at the Royal Palace. It was wonderful exchanging perspectives on boosting India-Netherlands friendship across key sectors like technology, innovation, sustainable growth, commerce and water resources," PM Modi posted on X after the meeting.
Modi said that India and the Netherlands are "connected by shared interests and a shared belief in building a future-ready planet."
"They discussed the growing partnership between India and the Netherlands," the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal posted on X.
"Both sides noted the close cooperation in the areas of sustainability, climate action, digital technology, innovation, fintech and blue economy," he added.
The two sides also expressed commitment towards further strengthening India–Netherlands relations.
Earlier in the day, Modi addressed a gathering of the Indian diaspora in The Hague where he called India a “land of opportunities” undergoing an “unprecedented transformation”.
The PM's visit to the European nation from May 15 to 17 is his second trip to the country after his 2017 visit and comes at what officials described as an "important juncture" in India-Netherlands ties.
India and the Netherlands have significantly expanded cooperation in recent years beyond traditional sectors such as trade, investment and the priority areas of water, agriculture and health.
The partnership has grown in strategic sectors, including technology, innovation, defence, security, semiconductors, renewable energy, education and the maritime domain, the MEA said.
The Netherlands is one of India’s largest trade destinations in Europe, with bilateral trade valued at USD 27.8 billion in 2024-25. It is also India’s fourth-largest investor, with cumulative foreign direct investment amounting to USD 55.6 billion, officials said.
People-to-people ties remain a key pillar of the bilateral relationship.
Later on Saturday, Modi is scheduled to meet his Dutch counterpart Rob Jetten.
