Rapper Badshah finds himself at the center of a storm with his new release ‘Tattiri’, as authorities in Panchkula register a police case following a complaint about offensive content targeting women. Social worker Abhay Chaudhary’s petition detailed how the song’s words and visuals demean female dignity, leading Sector-20 police to launch a probe.
Since its March 1 debut, the video showing girls in school attire tossing books aside amid suggestive lyrics has gone viral online. Critics argue it could mislead impressionable young minds, fueling widespread condemnation.
Joining the chorus is Geeta Bhukkal, ex-Haryana education minister, who condemned the track without hearing it. ‘Reports of misused child imagery and profanity are deeply troubling,’ she said. Bhukkal linked it to broader responsibilities under ‘Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter’, insisting such vulgarity must not be tolerated.
Bhukkal supported the Women’s Commission’s summons to Badshah, stressing universal duty to safeguard sisters and daughters. ‘This portrayal is socially regressive and warrants serious investigation,’ she added.
With the Haryana panel already involved, the case underscores tensions between artistic freedom and cultural norms, sparking debates on regulating music that allegedly promotes indecency.
