NEW DELHI: An Indian court has banned the country's media from broadcasting a documentary in which one of the men who gang-raped and murdered a New Delhi student is shown blaming the victim, police said Wednesday.

Spokesman Rajan Bhagat said New Delhi police had obtained a court order late Tuesday banning anyone from broadcasting the documentary, called “India's Daughter”, on grounds of “objectionable content”.

“We have only seen the promotional parts of the film. Based on that we took the matter to court because we felt that it will cause likely apprehension of public disorder,” Bhagat told AFP. “It shows a very objectionable interview with the convicted rapist.“

Mukesh Singh, one of five men convicted over the 2012 attack in New Delhi, told British film-maker Leslee Udwin from his prison cell that the murdered student should not have been out at night, and blamed her for fighting back against her attackers.

Udwin, an award-winning British film-maker, said she was heart-broken by the ban on the documentary, in which Singh said the victim should not have been “roam(ing) around at 9 o'clock at night” and that “a girl is far more responsible for rape than a boy”.

“My heart is broken with this court order,” she told AFP by telephone. “The more they try to stop the film, the more they are going to pique people's interest. Now, everyone is going to want to see it. “

“India's Daughter” was due to be televised in seven countries, including India and Britain on Sunday, International Women's Day.

Udwin said earlier she had permission from both prison authorities and the home ministry to film inside the vast Tihar jail in Delhi for her documentary, which charts the aftermath of the fatal gang-rape.

The 23-year-old physiotherapy student, who cannot be named, died from her injuries 13 days after she was savagely attacked on a moving bus while on her way home from the cinema with a male friend on December 16, 2012.

The incident caused global outrage and triggered huge protests in India, highlighting the frightening level of violence against women in the world's second most populous country.

It also led to a major reform of India's rape laws, speeding up trials and increasing penalties.

Right thing to do, considering that children will fall prey for this kind of useless documentaries.

Their societies are all fcked up in the name of western values and now they are venturing into east to degrade family values.
Britain has many sad tales and rape incidents, Britain truly needs this kind of awareness, so better concentrate on your society.

Tales of horror and poverty in India and Africa and middle east satisfy the westerners. they are just catering to their market

Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Or do you agree with the rapists comment that the victim should have allowed them to rape her?? Some think tank..

Freedom of speech to the trash bin. Incredible Rapestan. Indians think they can hide their rape endemic from their people. They are mistaken. This illness is widespread in India and the entire world knows about it.

No need to sensor a documentary.........let people decide whats right or wrong.

But sadly majority are too stupid to understand the point of freedom of speech.

Or do you agree with the rapists comment that the victim should have allowed them to rape her

The point of this documentation is not for the purpose of education but to make world feel that how all mens are India are savages and treat their women like ginnypig and they also painted it with Indian cultural values too.

All point of this documentry is to provide feel good to west that how there western society is perfect superior to all culture present in the world.

I don't buy this argument at all.........such rapes have happened in other countries too,gory documentaries have been made and released before.

The fact is that man does not represent india but a typical sociopath/pervert in any country of the world.

I dont expect any change of heart.. I am asking Mr. Think Tank here what he meant by truth hurts? What is the truth here?That the girl is to be blamed for roaming at night? Or she didnt let them rape her williingly?

These Westerners become your greatest friends when they provide India with trade concessions, nuke tech, investments, etc. They become evil when they expose Indian wrongdoings and rape endemic. Try to strike some balance.
