Harya Police Files Case Against Badshah for Objectionable Lyrics in ‘Tateeree’ Song

The FIR, dated March 6, has been registered at Cyber Police Station, Sector-20, Panchkula under Section 296 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 3 and 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986. According to the police, the video depicts minor girls wearing school uniforms throwing away their school bags and appearing to run away from their studies. The use of words such as "Badshala" in the song has also been found to portray the school environment and education in a misleading and inappropriate manner.

Furthermore, objectionable and derogatory expressions towards women and girls have also been identified in the lyrics. During the investigation, it has also come to light that a Haryana Roadways bus from the Jind depot is featured in the video. Police are verifying whether permission was obtained from the concerned department for its use in the video.

If it is found that the bus was used without authorisation, legal action will also be initiated against the responsible persons under the relevant section.

Similarly, a government school premises has also been shown in the video. Police are examining whether proper approval was taken from the competent authority for shooting at the location. If it is established that the premises were used without permission, action will be taken against the responsible individuals as per the law. ‘Wallah Wallah’ Song: Badshah and Davido Bring India-Africa Vibes Together in Electrifying New Track (Watch Audio Video).
