This paper addresses the growing threat of AI-enabled crimes, particularly deepfakes and identity intrusion, which jeopardize the right to privacy, reputation, and public order. It examines the adequacy of existing Indian legal frameworks, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act, in providing recourse and remedies to victims. The proliferation of generative AI technologies has made it increasingly easy to create hyper-realistic synthetic media that can deceive viewers, manipulate public opinion, and cause irreparable harm to individuals and institutions. From non-consensual intimate imagery targeting women to political disinformation campaigns designed to influence elections, deepfakes present multifaceted challenges that existing laws were not designed to address. This paper critically evaluates key provisions under the BNS 2023, including those related to forgery, defamation, criminal intimidation, and sexual offenses, alongside relevant sections of the IT Act 2000 concerning identity theft, impersonation, and obscene content as well as absence of deepfake-specific legislation, the paper further analyzes global legal responses to such crimes and proposes reforms tailored to the Indian context to bridge the identified legislative and enforcement gaps.
