As many as 36 AI-savvy Rajasthan police constable recruits undergoing training at Police Training School (PTS) in Madhya Pradesh have been sent back to their home state on charges of indiscipline and nefarious activities after they allegedly posted fake AI-generated photos of stale and rotten food being served at the academy.

According to MP Police officials, thirty-six Rajasthan Police recruits were sent back midway through a training course at PTS Tighra in Gwalior district. They were found guilty of using AI to create doctored images showing stale and rotten food being served at the police academy canteen and circulating them on social media.

Madhya Pradesh Additional Director General of Police (Training) Raja Babu Singh said on Friday that the action was initiated following an inquiry that found that the mischievous recruits were running a smear campaign against the police academy using Artificial Intelligence-generated images of food items.

He said the 36 jawans were mainly from the Rajasthan Police telecom wing and had come to PTS Tighra for a nine-month constable recruitment training course.

He informed that 1,005 recruits from the Rajasthan Police were undergoing training in Gwalior, following a request from the Rajasthan Director General of Police.

Sources claimed that the recruits of Rajasthan police were demanding traditional Rajasthani dishes such as ‘gatte ki sabzi’, ‘ker-sangri’, ‘chhachh’ (buttermilk) and ‘bhatti ki rotis’, and were unhappy with the regular daal, sabzi, rice, and machine-made rotis served at PTS Tighra.
