DHAKA: The father of a woman who died after a savage gang-rape in Delhi said Thursday he thought everyone should watch a documentary about the attack broadcast by the BBC but banned in India.

The British broadcaster brought forward its screening of ‘India’s Daughter’ to Wednesday evening, citing a strong public interest after an Indian court issued an order barring broadcasters from showing it.

The film has sparked a fierce debate in India because it includes an interview in which one of the convicted rapists, Mukesh Singh, blamed the 23-year-old victim, saying she should not have been out at night and should not have fought back.

But the father of the victim, who cannot be named, said the comments should be exposed publicly.

‘Everyone should watch the film,’ news channel NDTV quoted him as saying on its website, reports The Straits Times.
