Delhi gang rapist interview: Court blocks Leslee Udwin film...

Police in India have secured a court injunction blocking the broadcast of an interview with one of the Delhi gang rapists on death row.

The Delhi court order also prevents publication of the interview, which has angered many in India.

It came as the government demanded an explanation from jail officials over how a British film-maker gained access.

The Delhi rape shocked the world. Four men were sentenced to hang for raping and murdering a 23-year-old student.

Film maker Leslee Udwin's interview appears in India's Daughter, a BBC Storyville documentary due to be broadcast on 8 March, International Women's Day. It was also due to be shown in India on NDTV.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh was taking the matter "seriously" and had spoken to the Tihar jail director-general to demand an urgent report, PTI news agency quoted officials as saying. Full story...
