CISF Woman constable suspended after slapping incident with Kangana Ranaut

In a shocking turn of events, a CISF woman constable, identified as LCT Kulwinder Kaur, has been suspended for slapping actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut. The incident occurred at Chandigarh airport while Kangana was preparing to board a flight to New Delhi. According to a senior CISF officer, this serious altercation took place after Kangana had passed through the security check and was heading towards the boarding gate.

The constable involved has stated that her actions were in response to derogatory remarks made by Kangana about the farmers' protests. Kaur said, "Kangana said that the farmers are sitting there for Rs 100. Would she go and sit there? My mother was among those protesting when Kangana made this statement." This statement appears to have been a significant factor leading to the physical confrontation.

In 2021, Kangana Ranaut faced substantial backlash for labelling the Kisan Morcha a "Khalistani movement" in a social media post. This comment drew widespread criticism and resulted in an FIR being filed against her by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), among other groups. The constable's reaction seems to have been influenced by these previous remarks.

Following the incident, the CISF swiftly suspended Kulwinder Kaur and filed a complaint at the local police station, seeking an FIR. A senior CISF officer confirmed that a high-ranking inquiry committee has been established to thoroughly investigate the matter. This incident has drawn significant media attention and raised questions about airport security protocols and personnel conduct. The CISF’s prompt suspension of the constable and initiation of a detailed investigation underscores the seriousness of the matter. The inquiry committee's findings and subsequent police investigation will be crucial in determining consequences and preventing future incidents.
