Two days after the Ambarnath police booked a rapper for an allegedly anti-government rap song, the Wadala cops on Friday booked another rapper for obscenity in a song. The rapper, identified as Umesh Khade, was called for questioning on Thursday night and let off. Khade had uploaded a rap song that describes how politicians’ apathy was leaving common citizens in want of basic needs.

On Wednesday, the Shivaji Nagar (Ambarnath East) cops had booked Raj Mungase for his rap song, after a complaint was made by a Yuva Sena core committee member. Mungase and the political community have reacted against the police action calling it an attack on freedom of expression.
