Bhopal- A Bhopal woman has alleged sustained harassment after she rejected a marriage proposal from a man she met on a matrimonial website. The accused, a resident of Udaipur in Rajasthan, allegedly used artificial intelligence to create fake wedding and honeymoon photos, sent 500 cabs to her home in a single day, and distributed fake baby shower invitation cards in her neighborhood .

The woman's sister created a profile for her on Jeevansathi.com to find a suitable match . During this process, she came in contact with the Udaipur-based man, and the two met once in the presence of their families . However, after the meeting, the family reportedly found the man's behavior suspicious and decided not to pursue the alliance.

After the proposal was rejected, the man allegedly began making persistent calls and messages . The woman blocked his number in July 2025 . Despite this, he continued contacting her through different phone numbers and also started troubling other members of her family .

The woman also claimed that the accused forwarded all his calls to her number. Even when police tried to call the accused, the calls were being redirected to the woman's phone.

The accused allegedly booked long-distance rides to Ujjain. Hoping for higher earnings, drivers accepted bookings from far and wide, which caused trouble not only to the family but also to the cab drivers who arrived expecting passengers.

After the complaint was filed with the Women's Commission, the woman alleged that the accused used artificial intelligence to generate fake images depicting her wedding and honeymoon with him . These AI-generated images were allegedly circulated on social media platforms and through WhatsApp status updates in an attempt to damage her reputation.

The man allegedly printed fake invitation cards for the woman's "baby shower" and had them distributed throughout her colony . The invitations mentioned that guests would receive silver coins, apparently to attract a larger crowd . The cards were reportedly delivered across the colony through newspaper hawkers.

The complainant claimed that after being blocked, the accused created another social media profile using someone else's photograph to monitor whether she was interacting with other prospective marriage proposals . The profile was eventually removed after she reported it.

The woman approached the Madhya Pradesh State Women's Commission and recently recorded her statement before a bench comprising Chairperson Rekha Yadav and member Sadhna Sthapak . The Commission treated the matter as a serious cybercrime and referred it to the Cyber Wellness Center for investigation. The Commission also directed police to take strict action in the matter.

Cyber experts explain that creating fake or morphed images of a person using AI without consent amounts to a violation of privacy and can cause severe mental distress, social humiliation, and reputational harm .

Such actions may attract legal provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act . Repeated misuse of another person's identity or contact details to book services such as taxis may also constitute online harassment.
