Los Angeles: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred controversy by posting an AI-generated image of pop icon Taylor Swift seemingly endorsing him for the upcoming November election. The image, which appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account, depicted Swift in patriotic colors with the caption, "Taylor Swift Wants You To Vote For Donald Trump."

Although Swift has a history of supporting Democratic candidates, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020, she has not publicly endorsed any candidate in the 2024 race. Trump’s post also included images of women wearing "Swifties for Trump" shirts and a satirical article suggesting that Swift’s fans are now supporting Trump after an ISIS-inspired attack was thwarted at one of her concerts.

Critics quickly pointed out that many of the images shared by Trump were deepfakes, raising concerns about the potential for misinformation in the election. Consumer advocacy groups and Swift’s fans have condemned the post as a misuse of AI technology that could have damaging consequences.

The Trump campaign defended the post, calling the "Swifties for Trump" movement "massive" and growing daily. However, Swift’s team has not commented on the incident.

Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.

The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.

"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.

Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.

A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.

Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
