Yo Yo Honey Singh Booked for 'Vulgar' Song

A first information report (FIR) was filed against Punjabi rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh in Lucknow on Dec. 31, 2012 over allegedly vulgar lyrics of his song.

The complaint was lodged by senior Indian Police Service officer Amitabh Thakur for the "extremely vulgar and indecent songs" like "Main hun balatkaria" (I am a rapist).

Thakur said that he found the lyrics extremely vulgar, lewd and indecent, and felt that the song acted as an offensive catalyst for crime against women.

FIR has been registered under Sections 292, 293 and 294 of the Indian Penal Code that deal with obscenity at public place.

Other than Punjabi films, Honey Singh has sung songs for Hindi films Cocktail, Khiladi 786, Race 2 and Son of Sardar.
