Security Staff slaps Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh Airport

It wasn’t a great start for the political career of Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, as she was slapped at the Chandigarh Airport by a Central Industrial Security Force constable.

Ranaut, who won the Lok Sabha election from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi was about to board the flight to Delhi when the shocking incident happened.

The constable, who slapped the new MP, has been identified as Kulwinder Kaur. She was immediately suspended from her duty and a first information report (FIR) has been filed against her.

After slapping Ranaut, the constable allegedly told the actor it was for “disrespecting farmers”.

The CISF Commandant has taken note of the airport incident, NDTV reported.

In a video message later in the evening, Ranaut expressed concern about raising terrorism in Punjab.

“I am safe. I am perfectly fine. The incident happened at the security check-in. The woman guard waited for me to cross. She then came from the side and hit me. She started throwing expletives. I asked why she hit me. She said ‘I support farmers’. I am safe, but my concern is terrorism is rising in Punjab. How do we handle that?” she said.
