Last Updated:
Viral CCTV footage reveals a mother-in-law entering her daughter-in-law's bedroom at night, provoking public outrage and demands for legal action
In an unusual and unsettling incident from Kolkata, West Bengal, a woman has sparked a storm online after releasing CCTV footage showing her mother-in-law entering her bedroom at night. The bizarre footage, rapidly going viral on Instagram, has ignited fierce public outrage and brought to light serious concerns about privacy violations and family interference.
Caught On Camera
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared the video claiming she noticed strange noises while she and her husband were asleep. Initially suspecting a ghost, she installed a motion-activated CCTV camera that captured the shocking event.
The grainy footage shows the mother-in-law quietly entering the bedroom and standing close to the sleeping woman. Though the video contains no audio, text overlays reveal the mother-in-law allegedly made hostile comments such as 'you don't deserve this" and 'I hate you." The unnerving nature of the intrusion has left many viewers disturbed.
Public Backlash
Social media users have condemned the mother-in-law's behaviour as a serious invasion of privacy. Calls for legal action and urgent intervention have surged online, with some suggesting the woman should immediately evict her husband and mother-in-law. Others have voiced concerns about the husband's apparent ignorance, placing the entire family under scrutiny.
Similar Incidents In The Past
Similar incidents have surfaced before. In 2022, a Reddit user shared that her mother-in-law had secretly installed a camera in her bedroom to monitor her care for her husband. In that case, the woman banned her mother-in-law from the house.
Likewise, in 2016, a man in Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, installed a CCTV camera to capture his wife beating his mother, which subsequently went viral.

From hashtags to headlines: How Gen Z is reshaping social discourse
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, social change is no longer driven solely by political leaders, academics, or institutions. Increasingly, it is being steered by a younger, bolder, and more connected generation-Gen Z. What was once a slow, linear process of advocacy has transformed into a dynamic, fast-paced dialogue where awareness can be amplified with a single post, and collective action can start with a hashtag. Social media, particularly platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, has become central to how Gen Z communicates, organises, and activates around the most pressing issues of our time like mental health, climate justice, gender equality, racial equity, and body positivity, to name a few. But this isn't just about viral trends or performative activism. What distinguishes this movement is Gen Z's insistence on authenticity, accountability, and tangible impact. Our generation is deeply aware that change doesn't end with awareness; it begins there. The online world serves as the entry point, but the momentum is carried forward through grassroots organising, institutional partnerships, and community-building efforts. For example, at Equity Ed, one of our key initiatives, a mental wellness campaign in urban schools, was born from stories shared online. Students were opening up about the lack of mental health support in educational settings. We turned those digital conversations into action: collaborating with counselors, educators, and peer leaders to introduce regular wellness circles, anonymous help desks, and stress-relief workshops across several institutions. What started as a hashtag evolved into a sustainable model for youth-led emotional support. This is happening across the world. Climate strikes organised by teenage activists, mutual aid funds shared through Instagram stories, and disability rights campaigns launched via YouTube videos showcase how Gen Z is not just participating in movements, but leading them. We are rewriting the rules of engagement. The new activism is intersectional, informed, and deeply personal. Critics often dismiss digital activism as fleeting or shallow, questioning whether likes and shares can lead to lasting change. While this skepticism isn't without reason, it overlooks the power of networked solidarity. When used intentionally, online platforms are catalysts for education, community, and mobilisation. They democratise advocacy, allowing voices from marginalised backgrounds to be heard on a global stage often for the first time. What's also encouraging is how this generation values inclusivity and nuance. There is a growing culture of listening, unlearning, and rebuilding. We see young changemakers collaborating across borders, ideologies, and disciplines, artists teaming up with coders, students working alongside legal experts, and creators amplifying academic research. Gen Z is often described as disillusioned or distracted. In reality, we are discerning. We question outdated systems, challenge harmful narratives, and envision solutions that are radically empathetic. Our activism doesn't rely on hierarchy but it thrives on collaboration. We are not interested in temporary fixes; we are building new foundations. As the founder of a youth-led organisation, I am constantly inspired by the courage, creativity, and clarity with which young people are driving change. We are not waiting for permission. We are not bound by convention. From hashtags to headlines, and from headlines to policy shifts, we are proving that social impact today starts with a connected idea and flourishes through collective will. The conversation is no longer about whether Gen Z can make a difference. It's about how institutions, media, and society at large can support and learn from this rising force for equity and justice.
