Mumbai crime: The cyber cell of the Maharashtra Police on Monday summoned rapper Badshah for questioning following a complaint filed by a prominent media company. The complaint alleges that the company held exclusive broadcasting rights for IPL 2023, but unauthorised streaming of the matches on an app and other platforms resulted in a staggering loss exceeding Rs. 100 crore.

The controversy has taken a new turn as Badshah, along with approximately 40 other celebrities, endorsed the app, which is accused of facilitating the illegal streaming of IPL 2023 matches. The rapper`s promotion of the app has led to his summons by the cyber crime cell, as they seek to unravel the extent of his involvement.
