Controversy Erupts Over Student Dance to Alleged Naxal-Praising Song

Two business students from Pune face legal charges for performing a dance at a hostel event to a song allegedly praising slain Naxal leader Madvi Hidma. The incident, which sparked controversy after a video surfaced online, has been criticized for promoting enmity.

In Pune, two business administration students are under legal scrutiny after allegedly performing a dance to a song glorifying slain Naxal leader Madvi Hidma at a government-hosted cultural event.

The performance took place at the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Government Hostel for Boys in Vishrantwadi, and a resulting controversy was fueled by a video upload on social media.

Police have charged the students with promoting enmity, while hostel authorities claimed that the song choice was an inadvertent mistake, appealing primarily for its rhythm.
