Purported AI-Generated Deepfake of Spiritual Leader Sadhguru Used in Investment Scam Allegedly Defrauding Bengaluru Woman of ₹3.75 Crore (~$425,000)

A 57-year-old woman in Bengaluru was allegedly defrauded of ₹3.75 crore (~$425,000 USD) after scammers used a purportedly AI-generated deepfake video of spiritual leader Sadhguru to promote a fake investment platform called Mirrox. The victim was reportedly recruited via Instagram and WhatsApp and was persuaded through trading tutorials on Zoom and fabricated profit screenshots. She reportedly realized the fraud only when withdrawals were blocked and additional fees were demanded.
