Bhubaneswar: Noted singer Sona Mohapatra has claimed to have received threatening mails from Madariya Sufi Foundation over her latest music video.

In a series of tweets to the Mumbai police, she alleged that the foundation has sent her a notice asking her to remove her latest music video ‘Tori Surat’ from all social platforms, on the grounds that it did not comply with the Sufi format.

Mohapatra further claimed that the foundation termed her video, ‘Tori Surat’ obscene and objectionable and did not wait for her response after giving the notice, instead sent her threats through email.


“We have followed you. Request you to inbox your number. We will look into this on priority,” Mumbai Police replied to the singer.

Meanwhile, veteran film writer and lyricist Javed Akhtar hit back at the Madariya Sufi Foundation for allegedly threatening singer Sona Mohapatra to take down the music video.

“In strongest possible words I condemn those regressive and reactionary organisations who are threatening Sona Mahapatra for making a music video of a Amir Khusrau ‘Geet . These mullas should know that Amir Khusrau belongs to every Indian. He is not your property,” said Javed Akhtar on his twitter handle.
