Yo Yo Honey Singh Summoned Before Maharashtra Cyber Cell Today In Case About 'Objectionable' Remarks, Plea Seeking Later Date Rejected

The Maharashtra Cyber Cell rejected rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh's request to appear before them on October 22. Singh was summoned on Friday, October 16, for allegedly making objectionable comments at a concert in Delhi, as reported by ANI. A video of his remarks went viral on social media, sparking criticism from various users. The rapper later apologized for the comments, claiming the clip had been edited to appear offensive.

Despite three previous missed appearances before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, Singh failed to show up for questioning on October 5. In April, the Delhi High Court had directed the Union government to take down URLs of Singh's song "Volume 1" from social media platforms, deeming it obscene and derogatory to women, infringing on freedom of expression.

Singer Honey Singh may face a Look Out Circular if he misses the October 16 summons over the Delhi concert remarks, according to ANI. The song "Volume 1" was released by Singh and rapper Badshah in 2006.
