The rapper-singer Badshah is in the middle of a new controversy. The Haryana State Commission for Women (HSCW) has formally summoned him over alleged objectionable content in his latest Haryanvi track, ‘Tateeree’. The controversy has been simmering since the song dropped on March 1, 2026.
The commission, led by chairperson Renu Bhatia, took suo motu cognisance of complaints that the song’s lyrics are indecent and cross cultural and moral boundaries. Savita Arya, president of Nari Tu Narayani Utthan Samiti, and Shiv Kumar, director of Shiv Aarti India Foundation, formally alleged that the lyrics objectify women and minors and contain inappropriate vocabulary.

The HSCW has scheduled the proceedings for March 13, 2026, at 11:30 am, to be held at the Conference Hall, DC Office, Panipat, with Bhatia presiding.
Bhatia did not hold back in questioning how the song passed regulatory scrutiny. As a former three-year member of the Film Censor Board, she expressed surprise that a track containing such lyrics was cleared for public release.
