The suit seeks the removal of AI-generated deepfake videos that falsely associate him and his family with financial benefits tied to India's ethanol fuel programme. Gadkari clarified that the E20 ethanol initiative falls under a different ministry's jurisdiction, distancing himself from the claims. The Bombay High Court has granted permission to proceed with the suit. The minister's primary goal is to halt the spread of fabricated content targeting him online.
