Mangalore, September 2, 2025: Mohammed Kunhi, the state secretary of The Karnataka chapter of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, a prominent socio-religious organization, has made the statement in response to recent controversies surrounding Sameer’s AI-generated videos, which have sparked widespread discussion on social media.

Speaking to the media, Mohammed Kunhi emphasized that Sameer’s identity was largely unknown to the Muslim community prior to the controversy. “Sameer is definitely not a representative of the Muslim community,” he clarified. “With approximately 1.5 crore Muslims in Karnataka, how many even know who Sameer is? As part of a major organization, we were not aware of him either.”

Kunhi further noted that Sameer is only recognized as a YouTuber, and if his videos are found to be misleading or inappropriate, he will face legal consequences. “Spreading misinformation about any religious sphere is unacceptable. This is against our fundamental beliefs,” he stated, underscoring the organization’s stance against propaganda targeting religious institutions.

The clarification comes in the context of the Dharmasthala case, where Sameer is currently under investigation at the Belthangady Police Station for sharing AI-generated videos on social media.
