The 157-second clip was initially shared via Bluetooth and MMS among students. However, its path to infamy took a darker turn when it was uploaded onto the school’s internal Local Area Network (LAN) at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur. It was there that an engineering student, Ravi Raj, obtained the video and listed it for auction on an online trading website.

The corporate fallout from this arrest was immense, eventually forcing the Indian government to amend the . The amendments introduced safe harbor protections for online platforms (intermediaries), ensuring that executives could not be held strictly liable for third-party user-generated content, provided they took prompt action to remove illegal material upon receiving notice.
