BJP Leader Approaches Calcutta High Court Over Sandeshkhali "Fake" Video

BJP leader Gangadhar Kayal claimed that in the video, modulation of his voice was done through the use of Artificial Intelligence.

A local BJP leader, Gangadhar Kayal, in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali on Friday approached a single-judge bench of Calcutta High Court claiming that a fake sting-operation video involving him was being circulated.

Kayal said in the video he was seen and heard claiming that the protests staged by the women against alleged sexual harassment by local Trinamool Congress leaders were orchestrated by the BJP.

The single-judge bench of Justice Jay Sengupta has admitted the petition. The matter is likely to come up for hearing on May 14, the day after the fourth phase of Lok Sabha polls.
