An advocate has approached the CBFC demanding an immediate ban on the song 'Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke', starring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, citing obscene lyrics and visuals. A criminal complaint has also been filed with the Delhi Police.
An advocate has approached the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) seeking an immediate ban and removal of the song "Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke", alleging that its lyrics and visuals are obscene and harmful, particularly to minors.
Complaint Alleges 'Obscene Expressions'
A formal complaint has been filed before the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) by Advocate Vineet Jindal requesting urgent legal action against the song "Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke", featuring actors Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt. The complaint has also been marked to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The complainant alleges that the song, which has been released on YouTube and is widely circulating across social media platforms, contains "highly vulgar, sexually suggestive, and obscene expressions."
It is further contended that the picturization and dance sequences are provocative in nature and contribute to promoting vulgarity, thereby disturbing public decency.
Concerns Over Exposure to Minors
According to the complaint, certain lyrics in the song are explicitly objectionable and inappropriate for public consumption, especially given their easy accessibility to minors. The complainant has raised concerns that such content, when freely available online, exposes children to material that is not age-appropriate.
Legal Action and Individuals Named
The complaint also identifies key contributors associated with the song, including lyricist Raqeeb Alam, director Prem, composer Arjun Janya, and singer Mangli.
Potential Penal Provisions
From a legal standpoint, the complainant asserts that the publication and circulation of the song may attract penal provisions under Section 294 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act), and the Information Technology Act, 2000. It has also been stated that a separate criminal complaint has already been filed with the Delhi Police Cyber Cell in relation to the song.
In conclusion, the complainant has urged authorities to impose an immediate ban and ensure removal of the song from all digital platforms, emphasizing the need to safeguard public decency and protect minors from exposure to allegedly obscene content. (ANI)
