An advocate has approached India's film certification board, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), seeking an immediate ban and removal of the song Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, from the Bollywood movie KD: The Devil, alleging that its lyrics and visuals are obscene and harmful.
Advocate Vineet Jindal has requested urgent legal action against the song, featuring actors Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt. The complaint has also been marked to the country's 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 contends that the picturisation and dance sequences are provocative in nature and contribute to promoting vulgarity, thereby disturbing public decency.
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.
The complaint also identifies key contributors associated with the song, including lyricist Raqeeb Alam, director Prem, composer Arjun Janya and singer Mangli.
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.
A separate criminal complaint has already been filed with the Delhi Police Cyber Cell in relation to the song.
