‘K.G.F. CHAPTER 2’ MUSIC: COURT ASKS TWITTER TO BLOCK CONGRESS HANDLE | 9 November, 2022

A court in Bangalore passed an ex parte interim order on November 8, directing Twitter to block the handles of Congress and its Bharat Jodo Yatra over alleged unauthorised use of a song from K.G.F. Chapter 2. The 85th additional city civil and sessions judge, Lathakumari, passed the order on a suit filed by MRT Music, alleging infringement of copyright in videos uploaded by the Congress for its yatra. The next hearing is on November 21.

The judge also asked Twitter to take down the videos in which Congress had used the film’s music and affixed its party loge.
