New Delhi, March 4 (IANS) Tihar jail director general Alok Verma on Wednesday met Home Minister Rajnath Singh in connection with the BBC interview of a December 16, 2012 gang-rape convict, official sources said.

The home ministry official, however, termed the meeting as "usual affair".

"He was not summoned as being being reported. He came and met the minister and other officials," the official told IANS.

A controversy had broken out over the gang-rape convict making offensive and outrageous comments against the victim in the interview.

The interview was taken for a BBC documentary and was to be telecast later this week.

However, after the controversy, the government asked media not to telecast the interview.
