The father of an Indian woman who died after being gang raped on a Delhi bus has denied a British newspaper report that he wanted his daughter named.
The man was quoted by India's Hindustan Times as saying her identity should only be revealed if her name was attached to a new law.
The 23-year-old victim died from injuries sustained on 16 December.
On Monday, five men are due to appear in a Delhi court charged with abduction, gang-rape and murder.
The case has sparked widespread anger across India and brought demands for greater protection for women.
The victim, a student, has not been named as Indian law protects sex crime victims by prohibiting their identification.
However, Indian minister Shashi Tharoor has also urged authorities to reveal the name so it can be used for a new anti-rape law.
The woman's father was quoted by a British newspaper on Sunday as saying her name should be made public to serve as an inspiration to other victims of sexual crimes.
The Sunday People said the father had given it permission to name him and his daughter.
It carried a photograph of the father but said the family had requested no photograph of the victim be used.
But he was later quoted by the Hindustan Times and The Hindu newspapers as denying the comments attributed to him.
"I have only said we won't have any objection if the government uses my daughter's name for a new law for crime against women that is more stringent and better framed that the existing one," the Hindustan Times quoted him as saying.
Fast-track court Prosecutors have said they have extensive forensic evidence against the suspects, who could face the death penalty if found guilty.
A sixth person accused in connection with the attack, a teenager, will be dealt with by a juvenile justice board.
At a pre-trial hearing on Saturday, a Delhi magistrate asked police to produce the five accused - named as Ram Singh, his brother Mukesh, Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Akshay Thakur - at court on Monday.
Their trial is expected to take place in a newly formed fast-track court in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, protests have continued across India in the wake of the attack.
A demonstration in Delhi on Sunday included protesters who have been on hunger strike for more than a week.
Campaigners are calling for tougher rape laws and reforms to the police, who critics say often fail to file charges against accused attackers.
The woman had been to see a film with a male friend before they boarded the bus in Delhi last month.
Both were beaten with an iron bar and the woman was raped for nearly an hour before they were dumped by the side of a road.
Her friend has since said that the attackers tried to run them over before driving off.
