West Bengal's capital Kolkata is in turmoil ever since the rape & murder case of a 31-year-old postgraduate doctor at RG Kar Hospital has come to the fore. While students are protesting against Mamata Banerjee's government and demanding her resignation from the CM's post, the CBI continues to investigate the case. The prime accused of the Kolkata doctor's rape & murder case is under Police custody, however, there are fears that the victim doctor was gang-raped, which have been totally denied by Kolkata Police. In the meanwhile, Team India's star batter Virat Kohli's video is going viral on Instagram in which he was heard demanding capital punishment for the rapist. 

In the video, Virat Kohli was heard saying, "What happened with the Doctor was very wrong. I want that every rapist get a death sentence so that any rapist thinks twice before committing the crime." The video is getting thousands of reactions. 

However, Virat Kohli's viral video on the Kolkata rape & murder case is totally misleading and fake. Virat Kohli's video which is going viral on social media is old and also the audio has been tempered using AI. The Delhi-born cricketer has not commented anything on the ongoing Kolkata Rape & Murder controversy. The cricketer is currently living in London and spending time with his Anushka Sharma along with his kids Akaay, and Vamika. 

The original video was shared on the official YouTube channel of Royal Challengers Bengaluru on February 26, 2022. In the video, Virat Kohli talked about how the IPL changed his life, what the Royal Challengers Bangalore team meant to him, how he handled the highs and lows in his life, and more.

Due to the presence of the identity of the victim doctor, True Scoop News has decided not to embed the link of Virat Kohli's viral fake video. However, below is Virat Kohli's original video from where a clip has been distorted.
