An X user named Rukshana Sayed (@Umm_e_meeran1<\/a>), who claims to be an advocate at Bombay high court, posted the photo on December 26, writing that the ‘Unnao rapist’ had been released and garlanded by the ‘BJP government.’ <\/span>(Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n Dear World, look at him. The Unnao rapist was released and garlanded by the BJP government…!!#UnnaoCase<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/NsdSozVe0i<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/g1hMi9bNZ1<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Adv Rukhsana Sayed (@Umm_e_meeran1) December 25, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Another user, @SirKazamJeevi,<\/a>\u00a0posted the viral photo, which was viewed close to 1.5 lakh views at the time of this article being written.

Even though the high court had put a suspension on his jail term in the rape case, he was serving a 10-year jail term<\/a> in another case linked to the death of the Unnao rape victim\u2019s father in 2018.<\/p>\n Additionally, on December 29, a Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant stayed the high court decision till it heard CBI’s appeal against thee HC order.<\/p>\n All major media outlets, including The Hindu<\/a>, The Indian Express<\/a>, Deccan Herald<\/a>, reported that the Supreme Court had stayed the high court order.<\/p>\n Readers should note that as mentioned earlier, even without the SC intervention, Sengar would not have walked out of jail<\/a> on December 25 (the day when the image went viral) because of the other case in which he was serving a jail term.<\/p>\n Now, on closer inspection of the viral photo, we noticed several elements that suggest it is AI generated.<\/p>\n First, the logo of Google Gemini is visible at the bottom right corner.<\/p>\n Secondly, the hand of one of the supporters assembled around Sengar appear to be distorted, which is a typical feature of AI-generated images.<\/p>\n\n
