Hyderabad University Students Screen BBC Documentary On PM Modi, Authorities Launch Probe

Days after the Centre banned the screening of the controversial BBC documentary 'India: The Modi Question', Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the RSS, has filed a complaint with the Hyderabad University authorities, alleging that students screened the BBC documentary at the campus. 

The two-part BBC documentary "India: The Modi Question" claims it investigated certain aspects relating to the 2002 Gujarat riots when Modi was the CM of the state. On January 21, the I&B Ministry blocked the series on YouTube and YouTube links to the BBC documentary. A report from the security department was awaited and further action would be taken accordingly, they said.

The university also said that the students screened the BBC documentary on January 22, a day after the Centre's orders. On the other hand, the students said they organised a screening two days ago, which was before the ban on the series

According to Gachibowli Police, no complaint regarding the screening has been received yet.
