NEW DELHI: Delhi Police on Tuesday sought life imprisonment for Mahmood Farooqui, co-director of Bollywood film Peepli Live, who has been held guilty by a court for raping a US researcher. The complainant’s counsel Vrinda Grover said, “...The court must keep in mind that there was an additional vulnerability of the woman in a foreign country and it brings disrepute to our country, besides traumatising the victim.” But Farooqui’s counsel said the filmmaker suffered from bipolar disorder and has fully cooperated so he be given a chance to reform.
