Rapper Badshah is facing legal trouble over his recently released Haryanvi folk track Tateeree, which has sparked controversy for allegedly containing obscene content and visuals deemed inappropriate.
An FIR has been filed against the singer at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Sector 20, Panchkula, following complaints from residents raising concerns about the song’s impact on societal norms.
The complaint alleges that both the song and its official video, released on Badshah’s YouTube channel, feature offensive language, gestures, and visuals showing girls in school uniforms.
The FIR is being investigated under Section 296 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deals with acts that outrage public decency or disturb social harmony, as well as Sections 3 and 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986.
The Haryana State Women’s Commission has also issued a formal summons to Badshah, questioning how the song passed regulatory scrutiny.
