BENGALURU: A court on Monday directed Twitter to block the Twitter accounts of the Congress and Bharat Jodo Yatra for using a song from the hit film KGF-2 in a video of the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra without permission. The strong intervention of the court came in a petition filed by M Naveen Kumar, the owner of MRT Music.

Naveen had lodged a complaint with the police against Rahul Gandhi, AICC Jairam Ramesh and Supriya Sreeneth, who is in charge of the party's social media. In his complaint, Naveen Kumar alleged that the party had posted two videos during the Bharat Jodo Yatra with songs from the movie without permission in violation of the Copyright Act. The FIR was registered in the Yashwanthpur police station under the provisions of the Copyright Act, the Information Technology Act and the Indian Penal Code.
