Digital Desk: A case has been filed against Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, for alleged copyright infringement when they used music from the Yash-starrer KGF 2 during the Bharat Jodo Yatra campaign.
Jairam Ramesh and Supriya Shrinate, both members of the Congress, are listed as the second and third accusers, respectively, behind Rahul Gandhi. According to the complaint made by Bengaluru-based music label MRT Music, the illegal synchronisation of the sound recording constitutes a violation of Section 63 of the Copyrights Act.
"Making a false electronic record to present it as genuine and defrauding the general public is a serious offence as well. It is argued that the complainant has suffered significant damages as a result of the accused's unauthorised uploading, downloading, and distribution "stated MRT Music.
