BSE categorically clarifies that the video is fake, manipulated and maliciously created using deepfake technology to mislead investors. The claims made in the video, including promises of extraordinary returns and invitations to join WhatsApp groups for stock tips, are completely false and intended to defraud the public.

BSE reiterates that neither Ramamurthy nor any BSE official provides stock tips or investment recommendations.

Additionally, BSE officials do not operate or endorse WhatsApp, Telegram, or similar groups offering investment advice, the statement noted.

While BSE is taking all necessary steps to remove such content, including working closely with law enforcement agencies and relevant platforms, such fraudulent videos have resurfaced multiple times across social media.

BSE also informed that the investors and public must be vigilant towards such posts on social media.

"In today's digital and social media environment, investors and the public must remain vigilant and not believe or act upon such misleading content and false claims."

"For authentic information and updates, investors are advised to follow only the official BSE website and verified BSE social media handles," the release added.

"Stay vigilant. Do not fall prey to deepfake investment scams." (ANI)
