Complaint Filed with Cyber Bureau over Use of Vulgar Style in Folk Duet Songs

April 13, Kathmandu – A complaint has been filed with the Cyber Bureau, run by the Nepal Police, alleging the use of vulgar styles in folk duet songs. National Folk Communicators Nepal lodged the complaint, claiming that live duet songs are promoting vulgar culture. Chandramani Gautam, president of Folk Communicators Nepal, along with secretary Kamal Sargam, submitted the complaint with a written statement against one male and one female singer.
According to Secretary Sargam, they have demanded the arrest and prosecution of singer Prakash Adhikari and singer Kopila Chinal. Their song was released on YouTube just a few days ago and was widely criticized for its extreme vulgarity. Following the backlash, the song was removed from YouTube within hours.
“The majority of the words used in the song carry double meanings, are obscene, and go against social norms,” the complaint states. “Furthermore, the presentation of women revealing inner garments, the gestures, dialogues, and visuals in the duet performance negatively impact Nepali society, family environments, and the younger generation.”
Secretary Sargam emphasized the importance of folk music as Nepal’s cultural identity, insisting that no one should spread obscenity in this genre. “No one is exempt from consequences for engaging in such vulgar behavior in the pursuit of viral fame. We trust the police will take the necessary action,” she said.
