A complaint is filed with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights against Papon under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) Act by the Supreme Court lawyer Runa Bhuyan. She said, “I am shocked to see the behavior of the said singer Angarag Papon Mahanta towards a minor girl where he is seen to be applying colors 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 girl participating in reality shows across India.”

But the fact remains that this kind of compassion, affection should not be misconstrued. The singer is quite disturbed by the whole incident.”
