Home ministry sources said an internal inquiry has found that permission for taking the interview by the British filmmaker of a rape convict was granted by the ministry in July 2013, which lawyers consider 'contravention' of jail manuals.

While granting the permission, the home ministry put the conditions that the rapist has to give his consent for the interview and the Tihar jail authorities will watch the raw footage of the film and give its consent before its telecast.
