The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has suspended woman constable Kulwinder Kaur and lodged a complaint against her at the local police station for slapping actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport.
“We have taken immediate action by suspending the woman constable involved in the incident and have lodged a complaint with the local police to register an FIR,” a senior CISF officer confirmed.
A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer of constable rank allegedly slapped Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranaut during a frisking argument at Chandigarh airport while she was headed to Delhi earlier today, sources said.

An inquiry committee comprising senior CISF officers has been set up to conduct a further investigation, according to the sources.
Meanwhile, Ranaut has arrived at Delhi airport ahead of the meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) scheduled tomorrow in Parliament’s central hall.
Kangana Ranaut defeated Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi by a margin of 74,755 votes.
The Mandi constituency holds symbolic significance for the Congress, as it is considered a bastion of the Virbhadra family. The seat was being held by Pratibha Devi Singh, the late leader’s widow.
As per the results announced by the Election Commission of India on Tuesday, the BJP won 240 seats and along with its allies, it stands at 293 seats. Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP and Nitish Kumar’s JDU, having won 16 and 12 seats respectively in their respective states, have extended support to the NDA.
The INDIA bloc has 234 MPs in the new parliament with the Congress having won 99 seats.
