Dear Mr Naidu is missing the wood for the trees: Union minister Venkaiah Naidu says of the Nirbhaya documentary, "An interview which will defame India internationally is totally unacceptable."

The government today said it would not allow broadcast of a controversial documentary featuring a Nirbhaya gang-rape convict as members of Parliament, cutting across party lines, expressed outrage over the incident.

Maintaining that it would not allow commercial use of such incidents, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said he was "stunned" as to how permission was granted for the convict's interview inside Delhi's Tihar Jail in the first place.

Making a statement in both Houses, Singh assured Parliament that Government would order a probe into it to fix responsibility for the shooting of this controversial documentary film of Nirbhya gang-rape convict.
