City cops file FIR against artistes.
Silambarasan
Chennai: Trouble does not seem to be taking a back seat for actor Silambarasan aka Simbu and music composer Anirudh Ravichandran. On Sunday, Chennai police also registered an FIR against them over the ‘Beep’ song controversy.
Ever since the song went viral, controversy started to brew as many women’s groups and people strongly objected to the obscene words used in the lyrics against women. The All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) had filed a complaint against the duo at the Race Course police in Coimbatore.
The artistes failed to appear before the police when they were summoned on Saturday, having requested a week’s time to appear. The Tamil Nadu Milk producers and vendors welfare associations had filed a complaint against the two on December 14 based on which the cyber crime wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) also registered an FIR.
The Chennai city police have slapped charges against Simbu and Anirudh under 292 of IPC (obscenity) and sections 65, 66, 66-B of the IT act. In a recent interview to a television channel, Simbu said that Anirudh had nothing to do with the song.
He claimed that the FIRs were unfair since the video was not meant to be leaked to the Internet. He also said he did not have any intention of hurting anybody but that there had already been many other such songs it the past that had not garnered the same criticism.
