The singer was allegedly seen kissing the girl who is among the contestants of a reality show he is mentoring on a Facebook live video. The video still features on the singer's official page.
Lawyer, Runa Bhuyan, said in the complaint, "I am shocked to see the behaviour of the said singer Angarag Papon Mahanta towards a minor girl where he is seen to be applying colours on a minor girl and inappropriately kissing the said girl. On seeing the video, I am seriously concerned regarding the safety and security of minor girls participating in reality shows across India."
Partha Gogoi, Papon's manager, told a local website Guwahati Plus, "The act was not meant to hurt the sentiments of any individual, and that it was not wrong in any manner, which is why they see no reason to pull down the video from the official Facebook page of Papon.
