Renowned singer, Papon has been embroiled in a major controversy that has taken over the internet, post a video of him kissing a minor contestant went viral. The act was termed as inappropriate by supreme court lawyer Runa Bhuvan as the complaint falls under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POSCO) act.

Here's the video:

As per a leading daily, Papon's lawyer Gaurang Kanth stated that it was just a peck on the cheek and it was his way of showing affection.

In fact, after so much happening, he took to social media and stated his side of the story:

The girl's parents however, have refused to lodge a complaint as they also found this an act of affection and that he is a father figure to her.

Here's a copy of the complaint:

Statements have been made and notices have been issued to Papon as well as the channel. NCPCR chairperson, Stuti Kacker stated that "Statements may be issued by different people now but we have to move within the ambit of the legal framework. We have sent notices by email and they need to answer in writing within seven days. This in keeping with out procedure."

Even after the statement issued by the parents, the accusations by NCPCR stand against Papon.

Chinmayi is one of the best versatile singers in industry. The difference between Oru deivam thandha poove and mayya mayya tells it all. She is a talented singer who can use her nasal tone too brilliantly. wish her all the very best in her life and career :)
