NAGPUR: The Bombay high court's Nagpur bench has stayed the telecast of Sony TV's 'Crime Patrol' episode on the Nirbhaya gang-rape case till further orders.
The telecast was slated for Friday and Saturday. Social organization Bharatiya Stree Sangh had moved the high court challenging the telecast. Its counsel Harshada Kurhekar contended that the telecast of this episode might affect the judicial outcome of the case. She pointed out that the case was sub judice. The BSS contented that the episode was commercialization of the tragedy that had shocked the nation. It said it would "increase the misery of the victim's family as well as hurt the feelings of women in general".
The division bench of justices AP Lavande and Arun Chaudhari issued the order and sent notices to Sony Entertainment Pvt Ltd, Information and Broadcasting Ministry and Indian Broadcasting Foundation. The show was expected to reconstruct the December 16 brutal gang-rape and torture of a 23-year-old physiotherapist trainee by six men in south Delhi. She died in a Singapore hospital on December 29 because of grievous injuries. tnn
