The death of Dr. Moumita Debnath has shocked India and the global community. However, it is distressing that some Indian men are searching for inappropriate content related to the incident on adult websites.
Protest has erupted in India seeking justice for the 31-year-old doctor who was gang r@ped and m*rdered in the hospital she worked at.
On August 9, the doctor’s c0rpse was found on a blood-soaked mattress at R.G. Kar Medical College in the city of Kolkata.

Dr. Moumita Debnath’s colleagues said she was over halfway through a 36-hour shift when she decided to rest in a lecture hall at the college hospital.
Although Debnath’s family was initially told she d!£d by su!cide, an autopsy report brought before the Kolkata High Court by the victim’s parents revealed that she di£d by str@ngulation and her body showed signs that she had been subjected to a brut@l and sustained s£xual a$$ault.
The injur!es Debnath suff£red included severe pelvic bone and muscle trauma, causing her legs to be twisted in an unnatural way. Her neck was br0ken, her eyes and mouth were bl££ding, and she had sustained injur!es to her abdomen, hands, and leg.
The post-mortem report also noted that over 150 mg of s£men was recovered from the doctor’s body, indicating that up to 30 men could have been involved in the v!olation of Debnath’s body. The normal volume of semen produced by a male upon ejaculation typically varies from 1.5 to 5.0 mg, according to the online medical encyclopedia MedlinePlus.
“No step taken to arrest any other offenders while the evidence clearly indicates that their daughter was the victim of a g@ng r@pe and murd£r, a cr!me that could not have been committed by one person alone,” the doctor’s family explained, adding that they noticed discrepancies in the autopsy report.
The family also alleged that they had been prevented from seeing their daughter’s body after arriving to the coroner’s office.
“[An] improper autopsy was done with a view to shield the others involved in their daughter’s death,” the family’s lawyer alleges.
Although the court scolded the college hospital, including its former principal, Dr. Sandip Ghosh, for mishandling the case by not filing a police report after finding the doctor’s c0rpse, the case was passed on to India’s Central Bureau of Investigation last Tuesday.
So far, at least one man has been arrested in connection to the case – civil servant Sanjoy Roy. Roy is known to be addicted to p0rnography. His bluetooth headset was found near the victim’s body.
Disturbingly, unverified rumors that Debnath’s r@pe had been filmed and uploaded to the internet began to circulate this weekend, leading to an explosion in search queries from sick individuals seeking to watch the video.
According to Google Trends, queries such as “Moumita Debnath p*rn” and “Dr. Moumita Debnath video” have experienced surges across India, with “Moumita Debnath r@p[e] video” experiencing a 110% increase in searches.

Internet users from other subcontinental nations, such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, have also expressed an interest in locating the r@pe footage.
The queries were not limited to Google, but p*rn websites as well.
On XVideos-India, Debnath’s name has been searched alongside actual p0rn*graphic videos.
This would not be the first time g@ng r@pe footage in India trended on p*rnography websites.
In 2019, a doctor of veterinary medicine was brut@lly r@ped and murd£r£d in Hyderabad. Priyanka Reddy had been heading home when a group of four men sabotaged her scooter, took her to an isolated area, r@ped her, and s*ffocated her to d£@th. Her c0rpse was later burned in an effort to destroy the evidence.
In the days following the news of Reddy’s horrific m*rder, her name began trending across p*rn sites as men scrambled to locate the rumored footage of her final moments.
Indians on X are urging authorities to track down and arrest those searching for Dr Moumita Debnath’s name on p*rn sites.
