Mumbai, October 6: Prime Minister Narendra Modi endorsing an investment scheme that promises profits up to INR 6 lakh on an investment of just INR 21,000 is false, as clarified by the Press Information Bureau's (PIB) Fact Check unit. The PIB Fact Check unit has recently issued a clarification regarding a fake article published on a website called "inwayss", which claimed that PM Narendra Modi advised the public to invest in an app that turns an investment of INR 21,000 into a profit of up to INR 6 lakh during a live TV show.

According to a PIB Fact Check, the claim made in the article is fake. "No such platform has been endorsed by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi or the Government of India," PIB Fact Check said. "Don’t fall prey to any such suspicious investment claims! Stay alert. Verify before you share," the agency posted on X. Is PM Narendra Modi Offering 3 Months of Free Mobile Recharge to All Indians?

Fake AI Video of PM Modi Endorsing Investment Scheme Goes Viral

Earlier, PIB Fact Check had debunked a fake AI-generated video of PM Modi endorsing an investment scheme that promises daily returns of up to INR 1.25 lakh on an investment of just INR 21,000. "The video is digitally manipulated," using AI or deepfake technology. The government has confirmed that no such scheme exists and that "Prime Minister Modi or the government of India is NOT associated with any such platform," the PIB Fact Check had clarified.

In the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and media manipulation, videos may be produced to appear remarkably realistic.
