According to sources, the complaint seeks a detailed investigation into the origin and dissemination of the video, which has been widely circulated on social media. Chowdhury described the clip as fabricated using artificial intelligence tools and accused the BJP's IT cell of orchestrating an attempt to malign her image. She alleged that the manipulated video was intended to mislead voters during the campaign.

"I came to know that an AI-generated video of me has been made. I never imagined they could stoop so low. If they want to hear from me, they can come directly to my home," she said, adding that she would pursue strict legal action.

The development comes amid an ongoing political row triggered by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's allegations against Chowdhury's mother, Sujata Gurung Chowdhury, over her alleged social media activity. During a campaign on Thursday, the Chief Minister had claimed that her posts hurt "Sanatani" sentiments and suggested sympathies towards Pakistan, while also alleging support for activists such as Sharjeel Imam and Umar Khalid.

Chowdhury has rejected the allegations as "completely baseless", asserting that such claims reflect political unease. In a video message, she said the traction gained by her campaign in a short span of time had unsettled her opponents. "It has been just 15 days since I entered politics, and the support I have received has clearly worried them," she said.

Her mother, Sujata Gurung Chowdhury, also issued a rebuttal, denying all allegations and stating that she has no involvement in politics. She questioned the intent behind dragging her into the electoral contest and rejected claims related to dietary practices and alleged support for "anti-national" elements, calling for verification of facts.

AJP president Lurinjyoti Gogoi further criticised the Chief Minister's remarks, accusing him of diverting attention from key governance issues and resorting to identity-based rhetoric. He said Chowdhury's campaign has focused on civic concerns such as artificial flooding, traffic congestion and land rights in Guwahati.

The circulation of the alleged deepfake video has added a new dimension to the contest in the 36 Guwahati Central constituency, where the 27 year-old "Gen Z" candidate is making her electoral debut against veteran BJP leader Vijay Kumar Gupta.

With campaigning entering a crucial phase, the episode has raised concerns over the use of misinformation and digital manipulation in electoral politics.
