Papon has been caught in a controversy and it has put his career in jeopardy.
Papon was the judge of the singing reality show The Voice India Kids 2 was alleged of molesting a minor contestant during a live streaming video.
A Supreme Court Lawyer had officially filed a complaint against him.
Even though the contestant and her parents said that they have no problem with Papon’s behaviour and don’t wish to file any complaint against him, the video which went viral and featured Papon kissing the kid turned Papon’s life upside down and the video got viral within few hours.
The channel streaming the reality show has decided to stay away from any further controversy on the case.
This is what the TV channel people had to say about this:
“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 seem 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 inquiry was initiated. Post the inquiry, 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.”
This surely states that we won’t be further seeing Papon as a judge on The Voice India Kids 2.
