MUMBAI (Reuters) – BSE Ltd, India’s oldest stock exchange, said it was filing a police complaint against unknown persons behind a “deepfake” video that purportedly shows its chief executive doling out stock tips.
“We have gone to the regulator (SEBI) and are filing a police complaint against such manipulated videos,” BSE CEO Sundaramanan Ramamurthy told Reuters on Monday.
Last week, a video clip had surfaced on a social media platform that seemed to show CEO Ramamurthy giving out investment and stock advice. The BSE claimed the video was morphed.
The National Stock Exchange had issued a warning against such deepfake videos earlier this month.
