The Tamil actress said that the video is not "fake". Kasturi added, "Clearly it is not fake because Rawat has backed out of barabanki LS seat. Really admire UP BJP , they plan really well how to ruin their rivals!"

However, Rawat on Monday said he will not contest any election till proven innocent. In a post on X in Hindi, Rawat said, "A fake video of mine generated by deepfake AI technology is being made viral, for which I have lodged an FIR." He said he has requested the party president to get it investigated.

The authorities have filed an FIR on the basis of a complaint by MP's personal secretary Dinesh Chandra Rawat against an unknown accused at Kotwali police station, in-charge Aditya Tripathi confirmed to the PTI.

The FIR alleged that certain individuals deliberately released a manipulated and offensive video of the MP to smear his reputation following his announcement as a BJP candidate. According to police sources, the circulated video portrays a man in a compromising position with a woman, purportedly identified as Upendra Singh Rawat.

It is noted that the BJP had denied a ticket to the then-sitting MP Priyanka Singh Rawat and made Upendra Singh Rawat its candidate.
