Indisk politi efterforsker aktivisten Ketan Dixi, som har vist den forbudte dansk-indiske dokumentarfilm “Indiens Døtre” om fem mænds voldtægt og drab på en 23-studerende. Filmen blev vist i den slumby, hvor tre af de fem voldtægtsmænd boede, skriver BBC online fredag.
Dixit projected the film in front of 50 people in Ravidas Camp slum. “We thought the screening of the film might disturb the camp,” an unnamed resident told the Indian Express newspaper.
“Later, we were convinced that it was for our own good and that even our children should watch the film.”
It is the second time in recent days Mr Dixit has publicly screened the film.
Mr Dixit said that he wanted to “show such films in rural areas as only popular Bollywood films reach people living there”.
“This film is important. Poor people already know about this rape case and they are interested in it. They should get to know the mindset of the rapist in this case.”
In the documentary, rapist Mukesh Singh, who along with three others is facing the death penalty for the crime, expressed no remorse (ingen anger) and blamed the victim for fighting back.
Appeals against the ban are due to be heard next Wednesday.
