In the case of Tateeree, summons have been sent to singer and lyricist Badshah, along with director Mahi Sandhu and producer Hiten. They have been asked to appear before the commission on March 25 2026, at 12:30 pm, with all relevant documents. The notice also warns that failure to appear “may invite appropriate action as per law,” with references to the Information Technology Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986.
For Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, actors Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, along with producer Venkat K Narayana and director Kiran Kumar have been summoned for March 24, 2026. The commission stated that the song’s content is “sexually suggestive, objectionable, and violative of provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, IT Act, and POCSO Act.” The tweet further read, “The National Commission for Women, in exercise of its powers under the NCW Act, 1990, has taken suo motu cognizance of media reports alleging obscenity and vulgarity in the song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke.’ Observing that the content prima facie appears to be sexually suggestive, objectionable, and violative of provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, IT Act, and POCSO Act, the Commission has taken serious note of the matter.”
