A case has been registered against the principal of a school in Maharashtra's Partur town for allegedly playing a Pakistani song during a school gathering. The principal, however, claims the music is from a Turkish television series.
Incident at Kids World English School
The controversy erupted after social media posts alleged that students of Kids World English School at Partur danced to a Pakistani song during the annual gathering held in March 2025. The posts went viral, prompting local authorities to take action.
Legal Action Taken
Based on a complaint, police registered a case against the school principal under relevant sections of the law. The principal was accused of promoting content from a neighboring country known for its adversarial stance toward India.

The incident has sparked a debate on social media, with some supporting the principal's explanation and others calling for a thorough investigation. Authorities are currently examining the evidence, including audio and video recordings from the event.
