Kathmandu. An AI-generated image is being widely shared on social media with the false claim that it shows the Imadol accused urinating while the victim recorded him for views and monetization. TechPana's Fact Check Desk found that the image, along with accompanying claims that the woman falsely accused the man while he was relieving himself, is misleading.
On Sunday, a young woman shared a video alleging that a man exposed himself and behaved indecently toward her on a street in Imadol, Lalitpur. The video quickly went viral, and on Monday (July 6), police arrested 55-year-old Surendra Bhatt, an education officer working under the Ministry of Defence.
Since Bhatt's arrest, several images and narratives related to the incident have circulated widely on social media. One of the most prominent claims suggests that Bhatt was merely urinating against a wall when the young woman recorded him, later posting the video online to gain views and earn money through monetization.
According to TechPana's investigation, the image used to support this claim is AI-generated. The accompanying story alleging that Bhatt had consumed alcohol on his way home from work and stopped to urinate is also based on unverified claims. At present, the only officially available evidence is the video released by the victim and the police complaint she filed alleging indecent behavior. The accused's statement has not yet been made public.
