The Narendra Modi government is considering to take legal action against British Broadcasting Corporation for airing in UK the documentary on the 2012 Delhi gangrape ignoring an official ban.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Thursday that the BBC should not have telecast the documentary, which deals with the brutalgangrape and killing of a 23-year-old paramedical student in a moving bus in December, 2012.

"We had requested BBC not to air the documentary, but they have gone ahead...Conditions have been breached...  We are examining all facts,We'll look into the legalities and take appropriate action," he said.

The Home Ministry had sent a copy of the court order prohibiting telecast of the documentary, "India's daughter,", which  BBC aired on Wednesday night in the UK and other countries.

Reports said the government has now asked YouTube and other sites where the links are being shared to remove them.

The documentary by British filmmaker Leslee Udwin includes interviews of Nirbhaya's parents, doctors,  police, lawyers and one of the rapists.

The documentary kicked up controversy as it includes certain comments of Mukesh Singh, one of the four men sentenced to death for rapeand murder holding the woman responsible for the fate she met.

In India it was to be telecast on NDTV.

While a Delhi court ordered a ban on it, the Union Home Ministry  said it would not allow the film's screening and investigate how permission was granted for the rapist's interview.
