When a Kashmiri model named Samreen Ayoub was sent a video circulating on Instagram last year, she assumed it to be someone else’s. The video pieced together from years of her own photographs, narrated by an AI-generated voice, and packaged to look like a television news segment. The video falsely claimed she was a Muslim woman selling sexual services to Hindu men, and even the video misidentified her own brother as her “pimp.”
“It was proper stalking,” the 24-year-old said, describing how the video makers had tracked her life from her first university semester to her last. Within hours, the clip had spread across dozens of accounts, followed by scores of abusive comments, threatening calls, and attacks on her character. Ayoub described the experience as a “digital lynching.”
A Pattern, Not One Incident
Ayoub is not the only case. Researchers say her experience echoes a broader and accelerating trend – use of generative AI to manufacture sexualised imagery and propaganda specifically targeting Muslim women in India.
A study by the Washington-based Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH) examined 1,326 publicly available AI-generated images and videos posted across 297 accounts on X, Facebook and Instagram between May 2023 and May 2025. The research found that sexualised depictions of Muslim women drew the highest engagement of any category studied — more than 6.7 million interactions. Analysts identified a recurring visual template across the dataset: a Muslim-coded woman paired with a Hindu-coded man, often framed within narratives that cast Muslim men as violent and Muslim women as needing “rescue” by men from the majority community.
