AI-Forged Videos Spread Fake Government E-Vehicle Schemes

Social media videos claim government schemes offer free scooters to women and electric cycles to students; fact-checkers analysed them in 2025 and found them manipulated using AI. One video referenced a Uttar Pradesh 'Rani Laxmi Bai Scooty Yojana' and a fake 'sarkarikbs.in' domain; Hive Moderation flagged 75.8% and 89.7% likelihood of AI alteration. Neither claim represents a nationwide government programme.
