NCW summons Nora Fatehi, Sanjay Dutt over alleged obscenity in ‘Sarke Chunar’ song violating Indian laws.

The National Commission for Women has summoned actress Nora Fatehi, actor Sanjay Dutt and others following a controversy over obscenity and vulgarity in the song “Sarke Chunar”.

In a statement, the Commission said the content prima facie appears to be sexually suggestive, objectionable, and violative of provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, IT Act, and POCSO Act.

“The National Commission for Women, in exercise of its powers under the NCW Act, 1990, has taken suo motu cognizance of media reports alleging obscenity and vulgarity in the song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’,” the Commission said.

The NCW said it has also summoned lyricist Raqueeb Alam, producer Venkat K. Narayana of KVN Group, and Kiran Kumar to appear before it on March 24.

They have been asked to be present along with relevant documents, the Commission said.

“Failure to appear may invite appropriate action as per law,” it added.
