Bollywood singer Sona Mohapatra alleges threat from sufi outfit

BHUBANESWAR: Odia girl and noted Bollywood singer Sona Mohapatra, who had recently landed in controversy over the remix of a cult Sambalpuri song Rangabati, has brought allegation against the Madariya Sufi Foundation claiming she has been threatened by the organisation.

In a series of tweets to the Mumbai police, the singer alleged that the foundation sent her a notice asking her to remove her latest video from all channels on the grounds that it did not comply with the Sufi format. She further claimed that the foundation termed her video Tori Surat obscene and objectionable.

She tweeted, “I have received a threatening notice from the Madariya Sufi Foundation to remove the music video Tori Surat from all communication mediums. They claim that the video is vulgar, will flare communal tensions.”

Sources said the Foundation officials have been called up for questioning following which the next course of action will be taken.

Speaking to a TV channel, Mohapatra said, “They called me a regular offender and says that they found another video of mine insulting to Islam because I’m ‘exposing’ my body.”
