Mumbai, March 5
Members of the film fraternity
reacted strongly against the orders to restrain the broadcast of a
documentary based on December 16, 2012 gang-rape, including an
interview with a convict. They termed the orders a sign of “ostrich
mentality†and asked questions like “Why ban it†and “Where are we
headed�
The documentary "India's Daughter" by British filmmaker
Leslee Udwin has kicked up a storm over the interview of one of the six
men who raped the 23-year-old trainee physiotherapist on December 16,
2012 in moving bus in Delhi. She later died in a Singapore hospital
where she had been airlifted for specialised treatment.
The
controversial documentary was uploaded on video sharing website YouTube
by an individual. The home ministry on Wednesday said orders were
obtained from court to restrain the broadcast of the documentary.
