The Punjab police has booked the rapper and a case has been lodged at the Mataur police station in Mohali district of Punjab.

The chairperson of women panel Manisha Gulati had written a letter to the State Home Secretary, the Punjab Director General of Police and Inspector General of police (crime). They had demanded that appropriate action should be taken against the singer.

In her letter, Gulati also sought a ban on the song saying that the song is ‘indecent’ and bound to have a ‘negative effect’ on the society. She also asked the police tpo file a criminal case against the singer. She has also sought a status report by July 12.

As reported by Senior Superintendent of Police Harcharan Singh Bhullar to PTI. Honey Singh has been booked under section 294 (punishment for obscene song and acts) and section 509 (punishment for word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman).

Bhullar further added, “He has also been charged under section 67 (punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form) of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and relevant section of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986.”
