Chandigarh, March 7 – In a new development, rapper Badshah, who is facing severe criticism for his recent song "Tatiri," has found himself embroiled in a major legal dispute.
The Haryana Police has now launched a major crackdown on rapper Badshah over alleged objectionable content in his recently released song "Tatiri," with authorities starting the process to issue a Look Out Circular (LOC) to prevent him from leaving the country.
According to officials, a First Information Report (FIR) has been registered at the Cyber Police Station in Sector 20, Panchkula.
The case against him pertains to the song and video "Tatiri," which authorities claim contains objectionable content and inappropriate depiction of women and minors.
Police said that the video allegedly shows young girls wearing short school uniforms and throwing away their school bags, running away from studies.
They also said that the use of the word "Badshala" in the song is said to portray the school and educational environment in a negative manner.
Officials also stated that the song includes objectionable and indecent words directed at women and girls.
In a statement, the Haryana Police PRO said that notices have been issued to Badshah, whose real name is Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, further directing him to appear before the police immediately.
Several police teams have been formed to ensure his arrest and are conducting raids at various possible locations.
Authorities have also begun the process to issue a Look Out Circular against the rapper to prevent him from leaving the country during the investigation.
The Panchkula Police has already removed the song from YouTube and has issued notices to other social media platforms to take down the related video.
During the investigation, police also found that a Haryana Roadways bus from the Jind depot appears in the video.
Officials are investigating whether proper permission was obtained from the concerned department for its use.
If it is found that the bus was used without authorization, action may be taken against the responsible persons under Section 120-B of the BNS.
The video is also said to feature a government school campus. Police are also verifying whether the required permission was taken from the competent authorities for filming at the location as well.
If the premises were used without approval, further legal action will be initiated against those responsible.
Police further have warned that anyone found creating or sharing reels or videos related to the controversial song and spreading objectionable content may also face legal action.
Authorities said the investigation into the matter is ongoing and further steps will be taken as per the law.
