Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh did not appear before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell on Monday (5 October) after being summoned for questioning over allegedly indecent remarks made at a concert in Delhi. The cyber cell had issued a notice asking him to appear in person and record his statement. Singh has instead sought more time from the investigating officer, the agency said. The case stems from a complaint filed after Singh allegedly made a sleazy remark during a concert earlier this year. In a video apology posted on social media, Singh said his intention was not to offend anyone and that he was trying to convey a message about safe sex in language his audience would relate to. The investigation is ongoing, and a fresh date for his appearance is awaited.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All three outlets provide near-identical wire-style coverage of Honey Singh skipping the Maharashtra Cyber summons. The Hans India, Orissa Post and India TV each lead with the same core facts, the missed appearance, the request for more time, and the apology video, without adding editorial commentary or assigning blame. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, reflecting a press-trust or agency source. The key open point remains the date Singh will next be asked to appear before the investigating officer.
