Assam influencer Babydoll Archi, also known as Archita Phukan, became the victim of a deepfake AI scandal. Her ex-boyfriend allegedly created explicit content using her image, leading to his arrest. The case raises serious questions about privacy and AI misuse.
Assam influencer Archita Phukan, popularly known as Babydoll Archi, was at the center of a cyber defamation case after explicit, AI-generated images falsely linked her to adult content. The images, widely circulated on social media, portrayed Archita as residing in the US and involved in the adult entertainment industry. The Dibrugarh Police arrested her ex-boyfriend, Pratim Bora, in connection with the case.
According to Dibrugarh SSP-in-charge Sizal Agarwal, Bora used one photograph of Archita to generate several sexually explicit visuals using AI platforms like Midjourney AI, Desire AI, and OpenArt AI. The morphed content was spread online, creating a fake digital persona. Bora, a mechanical engineer, allegedly acted out of revenge and then turned the campaign into a profit-making operation, reportedly earning around ₹10 lakh through subscriptions.
The fake identity, "Babydoll Archi", gained traction after an AI-generated photo of Archita with adult film star Kendra Lust was posted online. The account, created in 2020, reached 1.3 million followers after a viral reel on June 26. It featured videos suggesting travel across Indian cities and falsely claimed she had been trapped in prostitution. These efforts added realism to the digital persona and misled followers globally.
Archita filed a formal complaint at the Dibrugarh Police Station, which led to Bora’s arrest from Tinsukia on July 12. He confessed to creating and distributing the content using multiple fake Gmail and social media accounts. The police have begun verifying these accounts and tracing further distribution networks. Authorities have warned that sharing or commenting abusively on such content—even after knowing it's false—could lead to legal consequences.
Police are now seeking Bora’s seven-day custody for deeper investigation. His financial documents have been seized, and further questioning is underway to uncover the complete scope of his digital activity and earnings. Archita has publicly thanked the authorities and called for justice and privacy.
