The accused are Tari Kasapuria, singer and owner of Love music company, and Satta DK, music producer, who is a resident of Raikot.

Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Harjeet Singh said the accused had on November 16 released a song on YouTube titled ‘32 bore’.

The song with lyrics, ‘Dabb vich rakkhi da hai 32 bore’, had been going viral on social networking sites, he added.

The SSP said a case under sections 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant), 294 (obscene acts and songs) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) of the IPC has been registered against the accused at the Raikot Sadar police station. A hunt is on to nab them, he added.
