Akula Srivani, a Hyderabad corporator, has filed a complaint with the cybercrime police alleging that a morphed image of her was used to damage her reputation. The complaint states that an unknown person created and shared a fake image of Srivani on social media, with the intention of tarnishing her public image.
Srivani claims that the image was shared by a Congress leader, who she alleges has been trying to defame her for some time. The corporator has asked the police to take immediate action against the accused and to ensure that the fake image is removed from all social media platforms.
The cybercrime police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Information Technology Act and have started investigating the matter. They are trying to track down the person who created and shared the morphed image, and are also examining the role of the Congress leader in the scandal.
This is not the first time that Srivani has been targeted by her political opponents. She has been a vocal critic of the Congress party and has often spoken out against their policies. The corporator has alleged that the Congress leader has been trying to silence her by damaging her reputation.
The incident has sparked a huge controversy in the city, with many people taking to social media to express their support for Srivani. The corporator has thanked her supporters for standing by her and has vowed to continue fighting against her opponents.
The case highlights the growing problem of cybercrime in the city, particularly the use of morphed images to damage a person's reputation. The police have warned people to be cautious when sharing images on social media, and to verify the authenticity of the images before sharing them.
The Congress party has not yet commented on the allegations, but the incident is likely to damage their reputation in the city. The party has been struggling to regain its foothold in the city, and the scandal is likely to hurt their chances in the upcoming elections.
Srivani has appealed to the people of the city to be vigilant and to report any such incidents to the authorities. She has also asked the social media companies to take steps to prevent the spread of fake images and to protect the privacy of users.
