Jubin Nautiyal on getting a clean chit in molestation case: People knew I was falsely accused

Singer Jubin Nautiyal talks about how he got through the tough time with support from his family and friends.

Even people who don’t know me well didn’t believe that I could do something of this sort. I’ve been raised by three women,” says singer Jubin Nautiyal, who was accused recently of molesting a woman and thrashing her friend in Dehradun. The incident took place in June, at a party Jubin had thrown for his family and friends on his birthday.

Singer Jubin Nautiyal was recently accused of molesting a woman and thrashing her friend.

Now that he has got a clean chit — the woman in question has apologised — Jubin is a relaxed man. “I just was not comfortable with all this. When all this was happening at the venue, I wasn’t even there! I had gone with my family, who, I am blessed, supported me after this happened. But, while some friends support you, some start going away...” he says.

He dealt with it, though. “I came back to Mumbai after a month of all this,” says Jubin. “I told the police that I don’t want to create a compromise situation. You investigate; if I’m wrong, put me behind the bars... I was feeling off for a little while, but then I started singing again.”
