**Patna High Court Orders Congress to Remove AI-Generated Video of PM Modi, Late Mother**

**Patna, Bihar – September 17, 2025** – The Patna High Court has intervened in a growing political controversy, ordering the Congress party to immediately remove an AI-generated video from its social media platforms that portrays Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother in a negative light.

The order, issued on Wednesday by Acting Chief Justice P.B. Baijanthri, stems from a petition filed by Vivekanand Singh, who cited the video as objectionable and potentially inflammatory. The video, reportedly posted on the Bihar Congress’s X (formerly Twitter) account last week, allegedly depicted PM Modi’s mother criticizing his political actions.

In addition to ordering the immediate takedown of the video, the court has issued notices to prominent figures and corporations involved in the dissemination of the content. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Union government, Facebook, Twitter, and Google have all been named as respondents and are expected to respond to the court’s inquiries. The Election Commission has also been issued a notice.

Siddharth Prasad, counsel for the Election Commission, confirmed the court’s actions to PTI.

The incident comes amid heightened political tensions in Bihar ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly Elections in 2025. The use of AI-generated content in political campaigns has raised concerns about the potential for misinformation and the need for stricter regulations. The court’s decision highlights the growing challenges of policing social media content and ensuring fair and accurate representation in the political arena.

This action follows another recent controversy in Bihar involving a viral video allegedly showing a minor using abusive language against PM Modi during a Voter Adhikar Yatra, further fueling political tensions in the state.
