NM VERIFIED
NewsMobile investigated the viral image and found the claim to be false. The picture is AI-generated and digitally manipulated.
A Reverse Image Search, combined with relevant keyword searches, did not yield any credible news reports, authentic photographs, or official social media posts supporting the claim. Moreover, neither Samrat Chaudhary nor Rabri Devi has shared the image on their verified social media handles. No reputable media organisation has reported any such meeting or public appearance involving the two leaders.
A closer examination of the image revealed several telltale signs commonly associated with AI-generated content. These included unnatural facial features, distorted hand structures, disproportionate body alignment, inconsistent lighting patterns, and an unusually smooth background lacking natural depth and detail.
To further verify its authenticity, NewsMobile analysed the image using AI-detection tools, including Sightengine and Hive Moderation. Both platforms flagged the picture as AI-generated with a high probability score, further confirming that the viral image is not genuine.
In conclusion, the viral image allegedly showing Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary touching Rabri Devi’s feet is AI-generated and digitally fabricated. The claim being shared alongside the picture is false.
