Kangana Ranaut slapped: Actress alleges physical altercation by CISF officer at Chandigarh airport

Bollywood actor and newly elected BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi, Kangana Ranaut, was allegedly slapped by a CISF woman guard at Chandigarh Airport on Thursday. Kangana, who recently won the Lok Sabha elections from Mandi by defeating Congress leader Vikramaditya Singh, was on her way to Delhi when the incident occurred.

Reports indicate that the actor was involved in an altercation with the CISF officer, identified as Kulwinder Kaur, during a security check.

Why Was Kangana Ranaut Slapped?

Taking to her x (Twitter) handle, the actor reacted to the slapping incident and posted a video in which she said, "I am safe. The incident happened during the security check at the airport. The moment checking was done, a woman constable in CISF in a different cabin waited for me to cross her and she hit me on the face from the side and abused me. I asked her why she did this, and she said, It's because of the farmers' protest"


Kangana added, "What concerns me is the rise in terror in Punjab and how do we handle this."


Following the incident, the CISF has reportedly taken Kulwinder Kaur into custody and is investigating the matter. Ranaut left for Delhi on a Vistara Airlines flight shortly after the incident.
