Sona Mahapatra allegedly getting threats over new song 'Tori Surat'

In her tweets, she claimed the foundation termed her video, Tori Surat, obscene and objectionable and therefore they want the video to be taken down.

NEW DELHI: Singer Sona Mohapatra on Monday wrote a series of tweets to the Mumbai police, alleging the Madiyar Sufi Foundation had sent her a notice and threats to remove the video.




In her tweets, she claimed the foundation termed her video, Tori Surat, obscene and objectionable and therefore they want the video to be taken down. The video was passed by the censor board of India.


She submitted the complaint application at Santacruz police station. The Madariya Sufi foundation claims to work for sufism, peace, and universal brotherhood.

Lyricist and poet Javed Akhtar came in her support. He said “In strongest possible words I condemn those regressive and reactionary organisations who are threatening Sona Mahapatra for making a music video of a Amir Khusrau ‘ Geet . These mullas should know that Amir Khusrau belongs to every Indian . He is not your property .”
