The complaint called for a complete ban of the Hindi version across digital platforms, raising concerns about its content and the potential impact on viewers. The makers have since been directed to pull down the track, which is no longer available on YouTube.
It is also being reported that authorities have been asked to take stricter action in such cases, with the possibility of revisiting existing guidelines if necessary. The Ministry is expected to intensify monitoring of content deemed obscene.
The Hindi version of the song is sung by Mangli, with lyrics by Raqueeb Aalam and music composed by Karan Janya. While the Hindi version has been removed, versions in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam continue to remain available online.
