NEW DELHI: Five FIRs were lodged against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in New Delhi on Monday—four of which were for uploading AI-generated videos and photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah and other BJP leaders; and one, in which AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has been named for making "provocative statements" against Purvanchalis.

The FIR, in which Kejriwal is named, also mentioned Delhi chief minister Atishi and Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann. In the FIR, filed on a complaint by a member of the BJP election cell, accused the AAP leaders of making "false, inflammatory, provocative and discriminatory statements against the people of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh (Purvanchalis) under conspiracy to incite tensions between communities".

The complaint alleges that on January 9, during a media address, Kejriwal claimed that 13,000 fake voter applications had been submitted in a constituency of just 100,000 people, insinuating that these were being added by "bringing people from UP and Bihar."
