Papon molestation case: Kiss was not on lips, says Shaan; deletes tweets later

A couple of days back, a video of singer Papon from sets of a reality show went viral. He allegedly molested a 11-year-old female participant. Following the controversy, the concerned channel removed him as one of the judges. (Also Read: Papon CLARIFIES on the controversial video of him kissing a minor female contestant)

While the social media stands divided on the same, fellow singer Shaan has spoken up; however, many find his statement not enough tasteful.

Shaan took to Twitter to defend Papon and wrote, “My stand is on assumption that it was a wrong angle and the kiss was not on the lips…”. However, he later deleted the tweet.

This certainly hasn’t irked great reactions. The fact that Shaan deleted tweet proves that he is aware of it. Papon, earlier, posted a very long clarification defending himself, on his social media handles. Read it below.
