The screenings late on Thursday triggered mild tension on the campus of the central university, also known as Hyderabad Central University (HCU)

The documentary was originally broadcast in the United Kingdom last week but it quickly generated hype here prompting the Indian government to block it from being aired on Indian platforms.

The announcement, on its Facebook page, by DYFI comes in the wake of the Centre's directions to block multiple YouTube videos and Twitter posts sharing links to the documentary.

“The Central government has blocked the BBC Documentary on PM Modi but did not ban it. So, students screened it,” the student leader said.

The Hyderabad MP asked the Union government if it will ban the movie on Godse like it banned the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Along with YouTube videos, the Centre has also directed Twitter to block over 50 tweets containing links to the concerned YouTube videos.
