Social media influencer & YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has yet again come under the scanner of social media after he revealed the identity of the Kolkata victim who was raped & murdered inside a hospital. For the unversed, the medical fraternity and people of India are demanding justice for the brutal rape & murder of a trainee female doctor in the state-run Kolkata's RG KAR medical college. RG KAR medical college is one Kolkata's top hospitals and a female trainee doctor was brutally raped and murdered. Based on CCTV footage within the hospital campus, one person identified as Sanjay Roy was taken into custody by the investigation officials of the Kolkata Police. With protest against the incident intensifying amid allegations that the Mamata Banerjee government trying to save one of the accused, the Calcutta High Court has transferred the case to the CBI.
Dhruv Rathee recently took to his X handle and compared the Kolkata rape & murder victim to Nirbhaya 2. However, fans outlined that the YouTuber deleted his tweet soon after that. As a result, many again started to question the YouTuber and his inclination toward the INDIA Alliance party. Not only this, but netizens also pointed out that the YouTuber revealed the real name of the Kolkata rape & murder victim.
Rathee's deleted X post on the Kolkata case reads, "Justice For Nirbhaya 2". After he delete the post, social media users bombarded his comment section with questions. A user wrote, "When the Rape victim is dead or of unsound mind the name of the victim or her identity should not be disclosed even under the authorization of the next of the kin. "
Another user wrote, "Neither released a yt video nor blamed the govt for this. The state govt was trying to bury the case and was hesitant to give it to CBI..Govt even "Lathicharged" on doctors probably..We fought and then the court gave case to CBI. @dhruv_rathee govt ki galti nhi hain ??"
Sharing the deleted tweet of Dhruv Rathee, a user asked, 'why deleted?'
Interestingly, Dhruv Rathee responded to it and clarified, "Because some people pointed out that it was insensitive to call (real name of the victim) as Nirbhaya2. I thought over it and felt that they were right."
Notably, Rathee again used the real name of the victim in his clarification and committed the same blunder mistake.
After the backlash, Rathee fired another tweet in which he wrote, "The rape-murder case in West Bengal is heartbreaking. It exposes the inhumane working conditions for doctors, the lack of their safety and the miserable state of law and order in West Bengal. Hope CBI does a fast track trial and gets..."
Notably, in the hashtag, Rathee used the name of the victim.
