Delhi Gangrape Twist: What Supreme Court didn't record but BBC documentary recorded and deleted

New Delhi, April 24: Months after the controversy over BBC documentary on Delhi gangrape case, which has been banned in India, shocking revelations came to light.

According to a report published by the Times of India, the Leslee Udwin, filmmaker of the controversial documentary, India's Daughter, had edited and deleted a portion of the documentary which could have created a much bigger controversy in the country.

According to the newspaper report, Mukesh Singh, one of the six convicts in the infamous Delhi gangrape case, had claimed that it was not iron rods but screwdriver which was inserted in Nirbhaya's vagina.

The report also claimed that Supreme Court did not record such statement and the filmmaker was advised by former Supreme Court judge Arijit Pasayat and former chief justice of the Punjab and Haryana high court Mukul Mudgal.

In a written note, Udwin, the filmmaker was quoted as saying, "He says they wanted to mop up the evidence or clean out the semen and so they wrapped a cloth around a screw driver and inserted it. The cloth got left behind and they tried to get it out with the screwdriver and that is how the damage was caused."
