Kunki Chowdhury AI Deepfake Video: AJP Candidate to File FIR Against BJP IT Cell Over Manipulated Video | Assam Elections 2026
Kunki Chowdhury AI Deepfake Video Row Erupts in Assam Politics Ahead of 2026 Elections
Guwahati, April 4, 2026: In a shocking development highlighting the growing misuse of artificial intelligence in Assam politics, Kunki Chowdhury, the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) candidate from the Guwahati Central constituency and part of the united opposition alliance, has alleged that a video of hers has been distorted using AI.
The incident surfaced as a reaction to a statement by Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma. Kunki Chowdhury has strongly condemned the act and announced that she will take strict legal action by filing an FIR against the perpetrators.
Speaking on the issue, Kunki Chowdhury accused the BJP and the Chief Minister of deliberately planning this malicious campaign to defame and undermine her as a candidate. She has also raised serious questions about why the BJP’s IT cell and the Chief Minister appear so fearful of her rising popularity.
“I came to know that an AI-generated video of me has been made by the BJP IT cell. Why is there such desperation?” Kunki Chowdhury reportedly stated, while confirming that legal proceedings will be initiated at Panbazar Cyber Crime Police Station.
Background of the Controversy
It may be recalled that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently referred to alleged social media comments and posts by Kunki Chowdhury’s mother, Sujata Gurung Chowdhury, regarding beef consumption and remarks that were interpreted as supporting those seeking to divide Assam. These comments had sparked a political row.
In response to the Chief Minister’s statement, Kunki Chowdhury had uploaded an original video on social media clarifying her position. However, the same video has now been manipulated using AI (deepfake technology) and widely circulated by malicious actors on various platforms to twist her statements and mislead the public.
This incident has raised serious concerns over the increasing use of AI deepfakes to influence voter perception during the Assam Assembly Elections 2026. Political observers note that such tactics reflect growing desperation among certain quarters as the polls approach.
Kunki Chowdhury, often described as a young Gen-Z face in Assam politics, is contesting from the prestigious Guwahati Central seat. Her campaign has been gaining significant attention, especially among youth voters.
The development comes at a time when the misuse of artificial intelligence in Indian politics is under national scrutiny, with calls for stricter regulations to curb digital misinformation.
Kunki Chowdhury has urged supporters to remain vigilant and verify content before sharing. She emphasized that she will not be deterred by such cheap tactics and will continue her campaign focused on development and positive change for Guwahati Central.
This Kunki Chowdhury AI deepfake episode is likely to dominate discussions in Assam’s political circles in the coming days as the election campaign intensifies.
