A local channel in Assam has provoked public anger after it ran a deeply offensive report that complained about young women being "scantily-dressed".
Pratidin Time, the channel, has apologised and removed the report from its website.
The video began with a shot of a monkey dressed in pants and claimed that while monkeys have been trained to understand the importance of dressing well, young women have lost a basic value.
The video, which was more than three minutes long, then showed many women walking around state capital wearing dresses and shorts. It focused on their bare legs and, in its claim that these were proof of its premise, made no attempt to conceal their identity.
