Eyewitness rejects assault claim in incident involving Chitral Somapala

An eyewitness account refutes the claim that singer Chitral Somapala had been assaulted during a musical show organized by a leading bank yesterday.

The D Major music band, led by Hector Dias, had been performing alongside Somapala at this show.

Dias goes onto say that Somapala is an internationally-acclaimed singer and that his forthrightness has often gotten him into trouble.

Following is a video of the explanation given by Dias:
