This Thursday the Indian government sent a legal notice to BBC over broadcasting a highly controversial interview of the Delhi gang-rape victim. It said that YouTube had also removed the video whereas it had also instructed telecom operators to make sure that their subscribers do not have access to it.
The government, in its notice, told the BBC that it has “violated” the agreement of not using the documentary for commercial purpose and for this the British media giant was liable for legal action informed Zee News. ’No necessary approval was taken by the BBC for the commercial use of the documentary. We have served the notice and waiting for their response. Further course of action is awaited,’ the news portal quoted a Home Ministry official. “How can you show something so abusive?” the Home Affairs Ministry spokesman said. “Everyone knows that this kind of abuse exists, but to show it in such an explicit manner?”
The Indian officials have accused filmmaker, Leslee Udwin, for giving Mukesh Singh, a platform for sharing his views. They further argued that the interview with culprit, who is awaiting his execution, is offensive to women and could cause a ‘law and order problem.’ NDA India informed that the court issued a restraining order that banned any broadcast of the documentary in India. In his interview, Singh describes the rape and blames the victim to be out at night with a friend.
