FIR against ‘Badshah’ in Haryana for ‘Tateeree’ song; raids being conducted to arrest him

The Haryana Police have registered an FIR against singer Aditya Pratik Singh Sisodia, alias Badshah, in connection with his recently released song “Tateeree” and have initiated the process of issuing a Look Out Circular (LOC) against him to prevent him from leaving the country. The police have also issued notices to remove the related video from all social media platforms.

Several police teams are continuously raiding various possible locations to arrest the accused, even as a formal notice has been issued to him to appear before the police immediately. Considering the possibility of the accused leaving the country, the process of issuing a LOC against him has been initiated.

According to the police, the video shows minor girls in school uniforms throwing their school bags and running away from the studies. The use of words like “badshala” also misrepresents the school and educational environment. Furthermore, the song contains objectionable and indecent words directed towards women and girls.

In this regard, a case was registered at Cyber Police Station Sector-20, Panchkula, on March 6 under Section 296 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Sections 3 and 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986.

During the investigation, it has also been revealed that the video shows a Haryana Roadways bus from the Jind depot. The police are investigating whether proper permission was obtained from the relevant department for the bus to be used in the video. If the bus is found to have been used without permission, action will be taken against the individuals involved.

The police have removed the song from the YouTube channel and notices have been issued to take down the related video from all social media platforms to prevent the spread of objectionable content. Continuous efforts are being made to remove reels and short videos related to this song from other music platforms, YouTube channels, and personal social media handles.

If anyone was found spreading objectionable content by creating or sharing reels or videos related to this controversial song, strict action will be taken against them as per the law, said the police.
