NAGPUR: A team of Pachpaoli police is set to leave for Mumbai on Saturday to trace singer Yo Yo Honey Singh who has been booked in a case of indecency. An offence was registered against Singh at Pachpaoli police station in April this year following high court direction. Earlier, a police team had gone to search for Singh in Delhi too but could not trace him.

This is the second controversy surrounding Singh in Nagpur after he was embroiled in a legal case before the Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission, Maharashtra State, Nagpur Circuit Bench following cancellation of his show in the city in 2012.

Complainant Anand Pal Singh Jabbal had initially submitted a complaint before Pachpaoli police station stating that Singh’s alleged objectionable and indecent songs have left degrading influence on the society. The complaint was then filed before Judicial magistrate first class (JMFC) but was rejected. High court had later issued a direction that police should submit a detailed investigation report following which the offence was registered.

High court has now once again sought explanation from the police regarding the efforts undertaken to bring Singh to book as six months have already elapsed since the offence has been registered. Police sub-inspector Chetan Chavan of Pachpaoli police station, probing the matter under senior PI Rajendra Nikam , stated that Singh was not accessible despite repeated attempts. Even his office or residential addresses were not available for police to contact him.
