Bollywood rapper-singer Badshah has responded to recent reports alleging his involvement in a traffic violation in Gurugram. The claims, which suggested that Badshah was driving on the wrong side of the road, were refuted by his team in an official statement, calling the accusations “false” and “defamatory.”
The statement from Badshah’s team read, “We are issuing this statement to address recent defamatory reports and false accusations regarding a traffic incident involving Badshah following the Karan Aujla concert on December 15th, 2024, in the Delhi NCR region. These reports allege that Badshah was involved in a traffic violation, specifically driving on the wrong side of the road. We want to unequivocally state that this allegation is completely false.”
According to the statement, Badshah was not driving any of the vehicles involved in the incident. “On the night of the concert, Badshah was a passenger in a white Toyota Vellfire (Registration Number HR 55 AU 3333), a vehicle provided by Bakshi Transport Service Private Limited and driven by a licensed professional driver. Our transportation arrangements for the entirety of the event included a Toyota Vellfire and three additional Toyota Innova Crystas to ensure the safe and efficient transport of our team. Badshah was not operating any of the above-mentioned vehicles at any point during the alleged incident,” it further clarified.
The statement concluded by categorically denying any involvement of Badshah or his team in the traffic violation. “None of the vehicles in our party, including those transporting Badshah, were involved in the incident of driving on the wrong side of the road. Furthermore, no fines were issued to any vehicles associated with Badshah or his team that evening.”
Earlier today, the Gurugram Traffic Police issued a fine of Rs 15,500 and seized CCTV footage in an effort to identify other vehicles in Badshah’s convoy. DCP Traffic Virendra Vij commented on the matter, stating, “Yes, we issued a fine for wrong-side driving involving Badshah’s vehicle. While the car is not registered in his name, Badshah was personally present in it.”
