A young activist who screened the banned BBC documentary on December 16 gangrape for a small audience in an Agra village was questioned by police who seized his computer equipment and sent it for forensic examination.
The acid attack activist, Ketan Dixit, said he was on Monday questioned for several hours at the Burhan Police Station in this regard.
He on Tuesday clarified that he had not been arrested. Dixit said police impounded his computer equipment — a makeshift screen made of white bedsheets, a simple projector and a laptop — using which he screened the documentary ‘India’s Daughter’ in a remote village of Roop Dham in Etmadpur tehsil. SHO B Mishra from Burhan Police Station said police were waiting for orders from senior officials.
SP (protocol) Ashok Kumar Tripathi said police were probing the matter and waiting for instructions from the headquarters. Police officials said it was not yet clear under what sections a case could be registered as there was no specific notification available so far. They said the laptop and the bedsheets that were used for screening the film were seized and sent for forensic examination.
