India’s daughter documentary by BBC film producer British filmmaker Leslee Udwin may not be talecast

The government is embarrassed, police are in a sweat, and they have put their might behind stalling British filmmaker Leslee Udwin’s disturbing documentary on the mindset that regards women as men’s property and rape as ‘deserved punishment’.

Shocked by excerpts of an interview with Nirbhaya’s rapist, Mukesh Singh, that newspapers published on Tuesday, Delhi Police registered an FIR under the Information Technology Act and also invoked IPC sections pertaining to ‘outraging a woman’s modesty’ and ‘insult to provoke breach of the peace’.
