how ai-generated videos triggered ujjain shahi masjid clash

A violent clash erupted outside the historic Shahi Masjid in Ujjain after viral AI-generated videos falsely depicted the complete razing of the mosque, misguiding a crowd during a road-widening project for the 2028 Simhastha Kumbh Mela. Police deployed tear gas and a lathi charge after protesters pelted stones on security forces, leading to 8 FIRs against 20 individuals, the naming of 5 content creators, and over 100 Instagram accounts being reported for circulating provocative fake content. The dispute stems from a 900-meter road-widening initiative between Kanthal Chauraha and Gopal Mandir, designed to facilitate movement for millions of pilgrims. While the project affects 272 structures across communities, the Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed petitions challenging the action, noting equitable impact, and peace has since been restored after mosque committee members voluntarily removed designated outer portions following mutual agreements.
