If you haven't watched India's Daughter, may be you should, ASAP.

Government has asked YouTube to remove the controversial BBC documentary on Delhi gang rape, saying that it is a very sensitive matter.

Despite the Indian government's protest, BBC went ahead and released the documentary on Wednesday night in the UK and also uploaded it on the YouTube.

According to sources, the Communications and IT Ministry has told Youtube that the issue is very sensitive and it should review its position on the matter, and remove it from the website.

A YouTube spokesperson said: "While we believe that access to information is the foundation of a free society and that services like YouTube help people express themselves and share different points of view, we continue to remove content that is illegal or violates our community guidelines, once notified."

YouTube did not confirm whether it has received a notification from the government, which is required to remove the content from its site.
