The troubles for singer Papon don’t seem to end soon as now the former chairman of Zee media group Subhash Chandra has taken to Twitter to condemn his act. Moreover, he asked the CMD of the company to take strict action against him as well as any other person who is involved, if any. He has also said that Papon has been barred from the Zee group forever.
This is what he tweeted, “Majority of the child abuse cases go unreported as the child fails to understand between good & bad touch. The authorities are the best to decide in this case. I appreciate the petitioner for being vigilant & all the media houses who have been reporting about the story.”

A video has gone viral which shows singer Papon kissing a minor contestant of a reality show in which he is also on the panel of judges. The incident took place on Tuesday night during a Facebook Live session and a complaint was filed against the singer by a Supreme Court lawyer Runa Bhuyan under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
After this kissing controversy, the &TV channel removed Papon from the designation of judge from the reality show The Voice India-Kids and also issued a statement.
Here’s the statement:
“The Papon incident is unfortunate and is unequivocally condemned. The decision to not have Papon on the show has already been communicated. Anyone who fails to abide by our code of conduct will not be engaged by our network. We have faith in the judicial system to take the necessary actions that they deem fit. We have extended our full cooperation to the concerned authorities.
As a responsible broadcaster immediately after this incident was brought to our notice, an internal enquiry was initiated. Post the enquiry, instant support was extended towards the participants and their families. An on-call psychologist is available to offer counsel to the children and their parents and an external counsel has been appointed to address the situation.
We are committed to the well-being of our participants and would like to restate that a safe and secure environment is of utmost priority to us. All the parents send their children for participating in our shows with a deep level of trust. We truly value this trust and will do everything it takes to live up to this expectation.”
