Man Blackmailed With AI-Generated Pics Of 3 Sisters. He Dies By Suicide

A 19-year-old man died by suicide after he was allegedly blackmailed with his three sisters' (Artificial Intelligence) AI-generated obscene pictures and videos, demanding lakhs of rupees, in Haryana's Faridabad.

Rahul Bharti, a second-year DAV College student, had been distressed over the past 15 days and was not eating well, and often stayed silent in his room, his father, Manoj Bharti, said. According to him, someone had hacked into Rahul's phone two weeks ago and used artificial intelligence to create nude photos and videos of Rahul and his sisters.

The accused, who was named 'Sahil' in the chat with Rahul, had sent the obscene visuals and demanded Rs 20,000 from him. In the final conversation, 'Sahil' had threatened to make all the photos and videos viral on social media if he did not pay the money. He also reportedly incited Rahul to die by suicide and even described certain substances that could lead to his death.

Distressed, Rahul consumed some tablets around 7 pm on Saturday. When his condition worsened, his family rushed him to the hospital, where he died during treatment. 

Based on the family's complaint, the police filed a case against two people.
