SkyFair Cric has cleared up the recent rumor that Indian cricketer Virat Kohli donated Rs 50 crore to the mother of the victim in the Kolkata rape-murder case. This claim, which spread widely after the shocking incident at RG Kar Medical College, has been proven false.
The tragic event involved the rape and murder of a 32-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor on August 9. Her body was found semi-naked in a seminar hall at the government hospital in Kolkata, leading to the arrest of a civic volunteer. The Calcutta High Court then moved the investigation from the Kolkata Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
SkyFair’s fact-checking team looked into the claim by searching for information online and checking Kohli’s social media accounts, including X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook. They found no reliable sources or posts connecting Kohli to the donation.
If Virat Kohli had made such a large contribution, it would have been widely covered in the media and likely mentioned on his social media. The lack of such information confirms that the claim was false.
What Was Virat Kohli’s Powerful Message on the Kolkata Rape-Murder Case?
Virat Kohli expressed his deep concern over the horrific Kolkata rape-murder case, condemning the violence and calling for justice. He said, “It’s disturbing and shocking. I am ashamed to be part of a society where such acts occur. We need to change our mindset and treat women with respect and compassion.
For people to witness this and not intervene is a cowardly act. Those people have no right to call themselves men. I have only one question: If something like that happened to your family, God forbid, would you stand by and watch, or would you help?”
