The PECHS resident, in his late teens, claimed he was scripting a crime story and needed AI assistance for the murder of a person who had allegedly insulted his father. The youth was later released after an investigation, but his actions highlight the risks of misuse of AI technologies.
It's worth noting that this incident follows a similar case in which a 17-year-old from Bahawalpur was arrested for allegedly plotting to poison and kill his father with the help of AI.
