Rapper-singer Badshah is facing a fresh controversy after the Haryana State Commission for Women (HSCW) issued a formal summons over alleged objectionable lyrics in his recently released Haryanvi track Tateeree.
The song, which dropped earlier this week, has drawn criticism for content that, according to complainants, is indecent and violates cultural norms and modesty.
The commission has taken suo motu cognisance of the matter, citing concerns about the potential impact of the lyrics, particularly on women and minors.
HSCW chairperson Renu Bhatia confirmed that the panel has initiated proceedings after receiving multiple complaints, asserting that such lyrics could have a negative influence, particularly on young audiences.
The commission has set the hearing for March 13, 2026, at 11:30 am in the Conference Hall of the DC Office in Panipat, with Bhatia presiding.
The complaints were filed by Savita Arya, president of the Nari Tu Narayani Utthan Samiti in Panipat, and Shiv Kumar, director of the Shiv Aarti India Foundation.
