The NDA Government on Thursday March 05,2015 served a legal notice on BBC over
broadcast of the controversial interview of Delhi gangrape convict and
said YouTube had removed the video. It also notified the telecom
operators to ensure that it is not available to their subscribers.
The NDA Government told the BBC that it has "violated" the agreement of not using the documentary for commercial purpose and for this the British media giant was liable for legal action.
A Home Ministry official said,"No necessary approval was taken by the BBC for the commercial use of the documentary. We have served the notice and waiting for their response. Further course of action is awaited".
The notice was served on Wednesday evening, before the telecast of the film by the BBC in UK at 10 PM (GMT)
BBC aired the documentary, containing the controversial interview of a convict in the December 16,2012 gangrape despite a Delhi court prohibiting it.
It was served by Director General of Tihar jail Alok Kumar Verma through government standing counsel.
