The alleged “sexcapade” of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams chairman B R Naidu has taken a U-turn on Tuesday with the woman in question lodging a complaint with the police against social media for tarnishing her image with Artificial Intelligence-generated content.
The 52-year-old man filed a complaint with Raidurgam police in Hyderabad alleging that unknown persons had morphed her photographs and videos using AI/Deepfake technology and circulated them on various social media platforms.
According to the complaint, some individuals from foreign countries, including Australia and Canada, as well as from different parts of India, were uploading manipulated content portraying her in an objectionable manner.
The allegedly morphed content was circulated on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter (X), Instagram and YouTube through multiple handles, including Jagananna Connects, ysj_shafi_7, ysj2.0 and others.
She stated that the circulation of the alleged AI-generated content caused severe mental trauma to her and her family, and gravely damaged her dignity and reputation. Based on her complaint, the police registered cases under various sections.
In a related but separate development, another woman lodged a complaint with Tenali police in Guntur district, alleging that certain social media accounts falsely linked her to B R Naidu in an alleged extramarital relationship.
She categorically denied any acquaintance with the TTD chairman and stated that her photograph was being circulated online with claims that she was the woman seen in a controversial video involving Naidu.
She further alleged that posts falsely claimed Naidu had gifted her a car worth Rs 20 lakh and that she was blackmailing him for Rs 5 crore — allegations she described as baseless and defamatory.
Police in Tenali confirmed that a case has been registered and an investigation is underway to identify the individuals behind the posts.
The twin complaints mark a dramatic shift in the narrative surrounding the controversy involving the TTD Chairman.
What initially appeared to be a scandal centred on alleged personal misconduct has now evolved into a legal battle over alleged deepfake manipulation, identity misuse and coordinated social media defamation.
