Bollywood rapper Badshah, known for his chart-topping hits, finds himself at the center of a legal and social media storm. On December 15, while heading to Karan Aujla’s concert in Gurugram, the rapper’s convoy, consisting of three vehicles, was reportedly caught driving on the wrong side of the road, sparking public outrage and accusations of VIP arrogance.
The Incident
Rapper Badshah, traveling in a Mahindra Thar, was reportedly en route to perform alongside Karan Aujla when the convoy broke traffic laws. An X user who witnessed the incident posted,
“3 vehicles of Punjabi singer Karan Aujla’s convoy are going on the wrong side towards Airia Mall, and the bouncers are also misbehaving with the people, but Gurugram police are sleeping.”
The viral video triggered a response from the Gurugram police, who issued a fine of ₹15,500 under the Motor Vehicle Act.
Public Fury: Entitlement or Mistake?
Social media erupted with backlash, accusing the rapper Badshah and his entourage of abusing their celebrity status. Some users questioned whether Badshah and his team felt above the law, while others called out the misbehavior of his bouncers.
“Does fame give you a free pass to endanger lives on the road?” one user commented.
Reports suggest the Mahindra Thar wasn’t owned by Badshah but registered to a youth from Panipat, raising further questions about accountability.
What the Law Says
Under the MV Act 2019, wrong-side driving is classified as dangerous driving, punishable under Sections 184 and 194D. First-time offenders face fines up to ₹1,000 or six months’ imprisonment, while repeat offenders risk a ₹10,000 fine, two years in prison, and license suspension.
VIP Culture Under Fire
This incident has reignited debates around VIP culture and the seeming immunity of celebrities from legal consequences. Gurugram residents expressed frustration at the frequent flouting of laws by high-profile individuals, with some demanding stricter penalties to curb such behavior.
Badshah’s Silence Adds Fuel to Fire
While the rapper has yet to release a statement, his silence has fueled speculation. Is this just a case of a rushed commute gone wrong, or does it reflect a larger issue of entitlement?
With social media abuzz and fans divided, Badshah’s Gurugram mishap is a stark reminder that even stars aren’t above the law—or public scrutiny.
