Altered Image of Rahul Gandhi Alongside Zakir Naik Revealed as Artificial Intelligence Fake
In the digital age, it's essential to verify the authenticity of information that circulates online. A recent viral image, claiming to show Congress MP Rahul Gandhi meeting Islamic preacher Zakir Naik in Malaysia, has been debunked as a manipulated image.
Upon comparison with the original image, it was revealed that the viral image was indeed manipulated using AI. AI-detection tools such as Hive flagged the image as deepfake content, indicating that the image was not an authentic representation of the meeting.
The original image, which was used in the viral image, shows Zakir Naik and his son meeting the Grand Mufti of Oman. This image was published by several media outlets in 2023, and the sources for this image include [URL1], [URL2], and [URL3].
On the other hand, the image of Rahul Gandhi in the viral image was taken from his event with the Indian Journalists Association in London in March 2025. This fact was confirmed by the presence of the 'ChatGPT' watermark at the bottom-right corner of the image.
It's important to note that the claim that Rahul Gandhi met Zakir Naik in Malaysia is false. The meeting depicted in the viral image did not occur, and the image in question is not an authentic representation of such a meeting.
In conclusion, while the digital world offers us a wealth of information, it's crucial to verify the authenticity of the content we consume. This debunked viral image serves as a reminder to exercise caution and critical thinking when encountering information online.
