A district court in Nagpur (Maharashtra) has directed singer Yo Yo Honey Singh to appear before a local police station to submit his voice sample in connection to a case registered against him for singing and uploading a vulgar song on the internet.

The District and Additional Sessions Judge S A S M Ali on January 27 directed the singer to appear at Panchpaoli Police Station in Nagpur between February 4 and February 11.

"He is further directed to present himself before police station Panchpaoli, Nagpur in between 04/02/2022 and 11/02/2022 so that his voice sample can be recorded."

The Panchpaoli police had registered a complaint against the singer under Sections 292 (sale, distribution of obscene content) and 293 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 67 and 67(A) and Information Technology Act, based on a complaint filed by one Anandpal Singh Jabbal.

The judge was hearing an application filed by the singer seeking relaxation of condition imposed on him to travel abroad.

"The applicant Hirdesh Singh S/o Sarabjeet Singh @ Yo Yo Honey Singh is permitted to travel Dubai from 29/01/2022 to 04/02/2022."

Singh's application was opposed by the investigating officer, who cited that the singer was supposed to appear at the police station on January 25, but he had failed to appear and informed in an email his inability to do so.

Adv. Raspal Singh Renu represented the complainant Anandpal Singh Jabbal.
