Background and Incident
Kulwinder Kaur, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable, made headlines recently after allegedly slapping Bollywood actress and newly elected BJP MP Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport. The incident occurred during a security check, where Kaur, reportedly upset over Ranaut’s comments on the farmers’ protest, slapped the actress and abused her.
Who is Kulwinder Kaur?
Kulwinder Kaur, a 35-year-old constable from Sultanpur Lodhi in Punjab, has been a part of the CISF for several years. Her brother, Sher Singh, is a farmer leader and the secretary of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, which was involved in the 2020-21 farmers’ protest against the three farm laws.
The Incident and its Context
The incident began when Ranaut, who was traveling to Delhi, reached the security check area at the Chandigarh airport. Kaur, who was posted at the airport, allegedly slapped Ranaut and started abusing her. Ranaut claimed that Kaur hit her in the face and started throwing expletives, asking her why she did it. Kaur reportedly replied that she supported the farmers’ protest.
The Provocation
The alleged slapping incident is believed to have been triggered by Ranaut’s comments on Punjabi women who were part of the farmers’ protest. In a video message after the incident, Ranaut mentioned that she had made a statement about farmers being willing to join the protest for as low as Rs 100. Kaur, who had a personal connection to the farmers’ protest through her mother and brother, was upset over this comment.
Consequences and Investigations
Kaur has been suspended with immediate effect, and a first information report (FIR) has been filed against her. The CISF has also formed a panel to investigate the incident. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken cognizance of the incident and condemned Kaur’s actions, calling for immediate suspension and strict action if the allegations are confirmed.
