Indian-American singer Jasmine Sandlas recently performed in Dehradun. Videos from the event have now surfaced on social media, but have made news for more than just the music. X (formerly Twitter) users have sparked outrage, claiming a video shows the singer being mobbed and touched inappropriately at the concert.
Jasmine Sandlas allegedly touched inappropriately
An X user posted a video of Jasmine from her recent Dehradun concert, in which she’s interacting with fans after they pull her by the hand. She squats down to talk to them, and some of them can be seen grabbing at her. Her team can be seen asking people to move back as they hand her gifts and flowers. After a while, Jasmine asks the fans to step back, and her team is also seen trying to control them.
“Dhurandhar singer Jasmine Sandlas was mobbed and inappropriately touched by the public,” wrote one X user, further writing, “She stepped down a little to accept the roses and greet fans, but some people showed their true colors and touched her inappropriately.” One person pointed out, “Women and artist should always be respected if they come to shake hands, talk to the audience,” while another wrote, “Some people have their brains in their knees. It’s fine to be a fan, but you should respect others.”
Numerous others also posted videos of Jasmine getting mobbed, questioning why the crowd thought they had a right to touch her. The musician has yet to release a statement about the same.

The couple also shared a romantic moment before dancing together to Jasmine’s popular track Laavan as the crowd cheered.
