Haryana Women s Commission seeks Badshah s arrest

The Haryana State Commission for Women has directed the Haryana police to seize Badshah s passport, so he cannot leave the country and that he be arrested immediately.

These harsh steps have been evoked after Badshah s song Tateeree provoked strong reactions. On March 6, Badshah skipped the hearing at the Women s Commission.

Calling for his immediate arrest, the Commission has accused Badshah of denigrating the women and girls of Haryana. It would be hard for rappers-singers like Badshah and Yo Yo Honey Singh to get away with problematic lyrics in the future.
