Newly elected MP and actor Kangana Ranaut was allegedly slapped by a Central Industrial Security Force constable in Chandigarh airport, allegedly over “disrespecting farmers”.
Ms Ranaut, who won the Lok Sabha election from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi, was about to board a flight for Delhi when the incident happened.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable who slapped the new MP has been identified as Kulwinder Kaur.
After slapping Ms Ranaut, the paramilitary constable allegedly told the actor-turned-MP it was for “disrespecting farmers”, alluding to the 15-month-long protest by farmers against the (now scrapped) farm laws and other issues including a legal guarantee of minimum support price in 2020-21.
