Badshah Faces Arrest Over Obscene Song Content

Rapper Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, known professionally as Badshah, faces an arrest order from the Haryana State Commission for Women following his failure to appear before the panel over allegations of objectionable content in his recently released Haryanvi song "Tateeree." The controversy, which erupted in early March 2026, has also drawn a purported death threat from associates of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, escalating concerns for the artist's safety in Chandigarh and surrounding areas.

The song, released on March 1, 2026, via Badshah's official YouTube channel, quickly went viral before being removed amid public outcry. Complaints centered on lyrics and visuals deemed obscene and disrespectful to women and girls from Haryana, including scenes depicting schoolgirls in uniforms dancing on a Haryana Roadways bus and discarding their bags while making gestures critics described as inappropriate. Social organizations and residents, such as Savita Arya from the Nari Tu Narayani Utthan Samiti in Panipat and Shiv Kumar from the Shiv Aarti India Foundation, lodged formal grievances, alleging the content objectified minors and misrepresented educational environments.
