Four days after it was shown in Agra's Rup Dhanu Village, India's Daughter, a BBC documentary on the Nirbhaya gang rape, reached the slum where four of the convicts in the case used to live.

Ketan Dixit, an activist working with an NGO, Stop Acid Attacks, had set up a projector at the end of a lane to show the documentary. "People were scared, and some were peeping from their windows not to be caught watching it," said Dixit, an independent documentary maker.
