The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable who allegedly slapped Bollywood actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh airport has not been arrested yet, according to police officials.
In the latest update on ANI, the CISF filed an FIR against the female constable, who allegedly slapped the actress, on June 6 while she was at a security check at the airport, preparing to board a flight to Delhi.The FIR was registered under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 321 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 341 (wrongful restraint).
“The constable has not been arrested yet as it is a bailable offence,” police officials said in a statement.
The CISF has taken swift action by suspending the constable involved in the incident.
Later the same day, Ranaut took to her social media handle and assured her fans and well-wishers that she was ok. She also shared a video message sharing details of the altercation. “I am safe. I am perfectly fine. The incident took place during the security check. After I was done with the security check, a woman constable of the CISF waited for me to pass through the cabin. Later, she came from the side, hit me in the face, and started abusing me. When I asked her why she did this, she told me that she supported the farmers’ protest,” Ranaut stated in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
In a video statement circulating on social media, the CISF constable, identified as Kulwinder Kaur, explained her actions. “She [Kangana] stated that the farmers are sitting there for Rs 100. Will she go and sit there? My mother was sitting there and protesting when she made this statement,” Kaur said.
The incident has sparked a broader discussion on social media with some defending the constable while others defending Kangana.
