Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murty cautions public over fake investment video using her name: ‘Don’t fall for it’

Rajya Sabha nominated MP Sudha Murty, who is also the founder-chairperson of Infosys Foundation, on Friday cautioned people against being misled by a viral deepfake video involving her.

The synthetic video features Murty promoting a high-return investment opportunity, urging viewers to click on a registration link, which reportedly leads to a fake website designed to steal personal information.

“A number of investors have already joined and are earning from 10 lakh rupees per month. Unfortunately, we are now forced to stop the registration as our team is no longer able to handle the influx of new clients," the fake video shows her saying.

“All those who wish to join will have a chance to register only until the end of this day and only through the link that I will request to be placed below this video. If the link is still active and you are able to access it, congratulations, you still have the opportunity to become an investor,” she says.
