A CISF constable, Kulwinder Kaur, was suspended after allegedly slapping Bollywood actor and BJP MP-elect Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh Airport on Thursday. The incident is believed to have been provoked by Ranaut's controversial comments about Punjabi women during the farmers' protest. In a video following the incident, the constable can be heard saying that her mother was among the protesters.
Kulwinder Kaur, 35, from Sultanpur Lodhi in Punjab, has been posted at Chandigarh Airport for the past two years. Her husband is also with the CISF, and her brother, Sher Singh, is a farmer leader and the organization secretary of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee. Kaur has two children.
Following the incident, Kaur was detained, and the CISF has formed a panel to investigate the matter. In a video message after the incident, Ranaut stated that while she was waiting to pass the security check, the officer approached her, hit her, and started abusing her, claiming she supports the farmers.
