This is a must read expose by the
New Indian Express, the newspaper that has actually descended from
Ram Nath Goenka's Indian Express of Emergency Fame (the Indian
Express of Delhi being a group owned by a European conglomerate,

Do read it when
you have the time to do so as it needs rapt attention.
NEW DELHI: A
rapist in a brown and white check shirt
staring impassively into the camera,
speaking sotto voce that Nirbhaya, the
victim of the December 16, 2012, gangrape,
had asked for it. A 57-year-old British
film producer and actress Leslee Udwin,
who picturised him inside the infamous
Tihar Jail here, is lamenting the fact
that the Indian government has banned her
documentary ‘India’s Daughter’ and muzzled
the freedom of expression. A missing film
producer named Anjali Bhushan. A newborn
film company named Tathagath under whose
banner Leslee produced the documentary
and has left no traces of its existence.
