The complaint said, "The above illegal action of the accused is an offense under section 63 of the Copying Act. It is also a serious offense that a false electronic record has been made with the intention of presenting it as genuine and thereby making public is being deceived."

Every copyrighted material of the complainant has been illegally stored, hosted, downloaded, sideloaded, uploaded and thereby made infringing copy of the sound recording and audio-visual content in accordance with the Copyright Act, 1957.

BJP leader Amit Malviya took a dig at the Congress and said that the party picked up songs from the film for Bharat Jodo Yatra without the firm's permission.

Congress has been sued once again for illegally using Kannada actor Akhil Iyer's picture in its campaign.

This time the lawsuit has been filed by MRT Music, which owns the popular music label of KGF 2.
