NCW action in song controversy
Mumbai: The National Commission for Women has recently sent summons to Nora Fatehi, Sanjay Dutt and the makers of the song ‘Sarke Chunari Teri Sarke’. The song has come into controversy as its lyrics and video are said to be obscene and full of sexual innuendo.
Promotional track of the song and protest on social media
The song is a promotional track for the Kannada film ‘KD: The Devil’, starring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt in the lead roles. After its release, there was huge protest on social media, where people called it against the dignity of women and harmful for children. Due to this, several complaints were filed, after which NCW took cognizance of the matter.
NCW summons and warns of legal action
NCW said in a statement that the song contains objectionable sexual content, which violates the Indian Justice Code, IT Act and POCSO Act. The Commission has appointed Nora Fatehi, Sanjay Dutt, lyricist Raqib Alam, producer Venkat K. Summons have been sent to Narayan and director Kiran Kumar. They have to appear before the Commission on March 24, 2026 at 12:30 pm and bring the necessary documents. If they do not appear, legal action can be taken.
Government’s stance on freedom of expression
Earlier, the central government had also banned the song. Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnav clarified in the Lok Sabha that the song has been banned. He said that there are reasonable restrictions on freedom of expression by the Constitution and protection of women and children is necessary.
