KGF Chapter 2 music company sued Congress leaders

 MRT Music record label, who owns the rights of 'KGF: Chapter 2' filed a case against various Indian National Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi over copyright violations. Copyright is the legal right for the creators, and can claim their work on the basis of this. Indian National Congress (INC) on it's run for Bharat Jodo Yatra might have played various number of tracks to boost the josh of their volunteers. There are so many music companies and even they have so many creations of their work. Every music company has their copyright status of might have bought the right from other company.

My opinion on this that if a auto-rickshaw driver will play the song in his vehicle then will it be also considered as infringement of copyright law. The Bangalore based record label claimed that the Congress party used their copyrighted music for Bharat Jodo Yatra advertisements without seeking their permission.

Rahul Gandhi is on his Bharat Jodo Yatra and during this he walked, run, jog and traveled various places. According to report published on Wion 'Each of the copyrighted content of the complainant has been illegally stored, hosted, downloaded, sideloaded, uploaded and thereby creating infringing copies of the sound recording and audio-visual content as per the Copyright Act, 1957 and the same is liable to be handed over and/or destroyed.'

Press trust of India posted on it's Twitter handle saying 'Bengaluru: Case registered against Congress leader rahul Gandhi for alleged unauthorised use of music from Kannada film 'KGF-2' during party's Bharat Jodo Yatra'

According to the reports, the company mentioned in it's complaint that it had spent a lot of money to attain the rights to the songs in the South Indian super-hit film KGF-2 in Hindi. Narsimhan Sampath, the music platform's attorney confirmed that the music company had filed a suit against the Congress, represented by general secretary Jairam Ramesh, Supriya Shrinate and Rahul Gandhi for violation of copyrights belonging to MRT Music.

The company also released a statement to slam the Congress Party for committing unlawful actions amid the Bharat Jodo Yatra. 'These unlawful actions committed by a national political party reflect their blatant disregard to the rule of law and the rights private individuals and entities while they are conducting this

Bharat Jodo Yatra to seek an opportunity to govern the country and frame legislation for protecting the rights of the common man and business'

According to a report published on Wion digital 'The record label recently approached Bengaluru police and filed a complaint against INC party leaders for copyright infringement. According to the label, two videos were posted on Congress' social media handles during the Bharat Jodo Yatra that had songs from the Kannada hit movie, which is a violation of the Copyright Act.'

The FIR was registered against Rahul Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh and Supriya in the Yashwanthpur police station under the provisions of the Copyright Act, the Information Technology Act and the Indian Penal Code.


The songs used by the party to portray Rahul Gandhi as a hero are 'Falak tu Garaj tu' and 'Sulthan' from the movie KGF Chapter 2. An FIR has been registered against the party in general and the three Congress leaders in particular, under sections 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property), 465 (Punishment for forgery), 120 (concealing design to commit an offence punishable with imprisonment) and 34 (common intention) of the IPC, Section 66 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and under Section 63 of the Copyrights Act, 1957.

Earlier in September, the Congres party had illegally used a poster of a Bengaluru-based actor named Akhil Iyer in the Bharat Jodo campaign. Iyer had flagged the isssue and had alleged that the campaign used his photo illegally and without his consent.
