Haryana’s women’s commission has summoned him for March 13 following a police case over the video’s use of girls in school uniforms.

Overview

  • Mohapatra posted a sharply worded critique on Instagram, calling the track a lazy pop‑culture trope that objectifies women and features young girls as props.
  • Haryana Police registered an FIR citing BNS sections 296 and 120‑B and sections 3 and 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women Act, with a Look Out Circular issued.
  • The Haryana State Commission for Women called Badshah to record his statement on March 13 after complaints by activists Savita Arya and Shiv Kumar.
  • Badshah apologized on March 7, said he did not intend to offend, referenced hip‑hop’s combative conventions, and confirmed the song was taken down from platforms.
  • Complaints highlighted a lyric deemed filthy and a video sequence of girls in school uniforms on a Haryana Roadways bus; the song released March 1 with vocalist Simran Jaglan.
