History

Historical Context

On 16 December 2012, 23-year-old Jyoti Singh was gang-raped in Delhi, sparking nationwide protests and prompting the Indian government to tighten women-safety laws. The 2015 documentary India’s Daughter, revisiting the case, was quickly banned, underscoring media sensitivity. Today, Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary’s posting of a victim’s image revives those privacy-rights concerns.
