A viral video that appeared to show police personnel watching female dancers in Varanasi has been described as completely AI-generated by Gaurav Banswal, the Deputy Commissioner of Police for the Kashi Zone in the Varanasi Commissionerate.
Banswal disputed the apparent scene in the footage, saying a large number of police personnel were shown on stage even though no such presence existed. His statement directly challenged the video's apparent portrayal of police personnel at the event.
The clip drew attention after circulating online with a depiction of police personnel watching dancers. The police response says the footage should not be treated as a genuine recording of the scene it appears to show.
What the police said
Banswal's assessment focuses on the video's apparent use of artificial intelligence. He described it as a completely AI-generated video and pointed to the mismatch between the personnel visible in the clip and the actual presence described by police.
That clarification is the central development in the case: the footage's visual depiction of police personnel on stage was rejected by the Kashi Zone DCP.
Why the clarification matters
The video had the potential to create a misleading impression about police personnel and their conduct in Varanasi. By identifying it as AI-generated, the police response disputes the authenticity of the scene rather than confirming that the event shown in the clip took place as portrayed.
The episode also adds to recent reporting about fabricated or misleading viral videos linked to police-related incidents. Earlier reports referenced in the current coverage include a fake video involving a cop-lawyer assault and a viral abduction video that was later described as a family matter. Those reports are separate incidents and do not establish details about the Varanasi clip beyond the police's characterization of it.
Conclusion
The verified takeaway is that Varanasi police have rejected the viral police-and-dancers footage as completely AI-generated. Gaurav Banswal said the large police presence shown on stage did not exist.
