The incident, which has sent shockwaves across the nation, is said to have occurred as Ranaut was preparing to board a flight to Delhi. The constable in question has been identified as Kulwinder Kaur. According to NDTV reports, she purportedly took this drastic action citing Ranaut’s alleged disrespect towards farmers. This alludes to the turbulent 15-month farm laws protest, during which farmers demanded a legal guarantee of the minimum support price. The protests are now history.
Kangana Ranaut has recently clinched victory in the Lok Sabha elections from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi constituency. Since the incident, she has also spoken out about it. Allegedly, she claimed that while in a restricted area at the Chandigarh airport, Constable Kulvinder Kaur engaged in a heated argument with her, culminating in the alleged assault.

In response to these serious allegations, Ranaut wasted no time in lodging a complaint. As per the India TV reports, she detailed the incident to Nina Singh, the Director General of the CISF. Additionally, Ranaut has alleged that the assault took place due to her political affiliation and stance on contentious issues.
The actress and MP addressed the situation, updating her followers on her safety via Instagram. In an Instagram story, she explained the incident of how the constable hit her in the face and abused her. When Kangana asked why she did it, she revealed her support for the farmer protests. Even though she is safe, Kangana says she is concerned about the situation in Punjab.
As the nation reels from this shocking turn of events, authorities have taken swift action. Constable Kulwinder Kaur has been detained and is currently being questioned by officials. The CISF is leaving no stone unturned, conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. This includes reviewing CCTV footage from the Chandigarh Airport to ascertain the facts and circumstances surrounding the altercation.
