A case is registered against a school principal and two teachers in Maharashtra’s Jalna district after a song played during a school annual event sparked social media allegations that it was a “Pakistani” song. The complaint and ensuing online reactions state that the music was perceived as belonging to Pakistan. According to the school management, the song was actually the music from a Turkish television serial, identifying it as related to “Ertugrul Ghazi” music.

One report also notes that the music used is said to have come from a Turkish television series, which the school cites as its explanation for the track. The investigation is focused on verifying the song’s credits and source, and on examining the circumstances under which the music was selected and played during the school programme.
