On Friday, Mumbai police filed a case against social media influencer Urfi Javed for tarnishing their reputation with a fake video of her arrest, as confirmed by an official.

The video, which falsely depicted Urfi Javed’s arrest by the Mumbai Police for an obscenity case, was widely circulated. The police clarified on the social media platform X that the video was misleading and the insignia and uniform had been misused.

“A criminal case has been registered against those involved in the misleading video, at Oshiwara Pstn under sections 171, 419, 500, 34 IPC,” the police said. “While further investigation is on, the fake inspector is under arrest & the vehicle has been seized too,” police said.
