A TikTok video is circulating widely on social media, claiming to show a younger Imran Khan, Pakistan’s former prime minister, in an intimate moment with two women.

The video has been created using artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

Claim

On December 3, an account on X (formerly Twitter) shared a 19-second video, asking its over 29,000 followers to share it widely.

The video allegedly shows a younger Khan kissing two women during what appears to be a gathering outside Pakistan. The user captioned the video with abusive remarks aimed at the jailed former prime minister.

The post has accumulated over 81,000 views, nearly 1,000 likes, and 700 reposts.

Fact

The footage is fabricated and has been created using publicly available artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

Geo Fact Check conducted a reverse image search and found that one of the women in the video was Ghislaine Maxwell, a former British socialite recently convicted. A picture of her and Khan was taken in 1990 at the Savoy Hotel in London, as per Shutterstock, a global stock photography website.

This picture of Maxwell and Khan was manipulated and animated to make it seem like they were kissing.

Geo Fact Check could not identify the other woman in the video clip but noted clear signs of manipulation in her appearance as well.

In the fabricated video, several anomalies are evident, such as that the men in the background are unnaturally lit, while Khan and the two women’s faces appear overly smooth.
