Documentary row: BBC, Wikimedia say Delhi court doesn't have jurisdiction to try case
New Delhi, May 11 (PTI) The BBC and Wikimedia Foundation Thursday submitted in a Delhi court that it does not have jurisdiction to try a criminal complaint filed by a BJP leader seeking to restrain them from publishing a documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots, or any other material defamatory to the RSS and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP).
The court had on May 3 issued summonses to the BBC, Wikimedia and Internet Archive on the criminal complaint.
According to complainant Vinay Kumar Singh, the two-part BBC documentary "India: The Modi Question" had defamed organisations like the BJP, RSS and VHP.
