Hyderabad: While people are demanding capital punishment for the accused in the “Disha†rape-murder case, many sick individuals are searching her name on porn websites, looking for a video of the crime. It tops the most-visited porn-sites. Though a pornography ban is in effect, porn addicts have created mirror websites with slightly altered addresses. (Pornhub, the world’s biggest porn site set up pornhub.net.)
“Disha†was a top search on a popular porn site “Xvideos†which has been officially banned by the Centre. The authorities claimed that the evolution of technology has enabled consumers to browse gruesome videos with a different IP address located in a foreign nation. Activists say the mobile operators providing free internet have been the root culprit. “A person can search her name 100 times or 100 people have searched for her videos,†psychology professor G Padmaja said. “Even animals have an ethical code which is lacking in some humans and these perverts have to be serious dealt with.â€
The idea of providing free internet has been root cause such brutal acts in society, said V. Sandhya, the all India convener of the Progressive Organisation for Women (PoW).
“The Modi government should be held responsible for rise of porn-watching in the country. While people in the country are deprived of food, shelter and education, the government joined hands with corporates to provide free internet to citizens who were misusing it. Disha’s name search on porn-sites is proof of it,†Ms Sandhya from PoW said.
Dileep Konatham, director of Digital Media for the government of Telangana says despite the porn ban people can watch videos easily through virtual private networks (VPNs) which help mask internet browsers’ IP address in India. Reports on social media said Disha's name had been searched 80 lakh times by Monday
morning.
