The Newly elected Member of Parliament, Kangana Ranaut was slapped by CISF personnel on Thursday at the Chandigarh airport. The CISF personnel was suspended and arrested for action.
Who and why?
The CISF personnel who slapped Kangana is a constable Kulwinder Kaur working at the airport security. Kulwinder Kaur is the sister of a farmer leader whose organization was part of the protests against the three now-repealed farm laws. She is the sister of Sher Singh Mahiwal, the secretary of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee.
She joined the CISF in 2009 and was deployed in the aviation security wing. She is the mother of two children and lives in Punjab’s Sultanpur Lodhi.
In the video, which was released by people on the spot, showed that Kulwinder hated Kangana for the statements she made during the farm protests. “Kangana made a statement that farmers were protesting in Delhi because they were paid Rs 100 or Rs 200. At the time, my mother was one of the protesters,” she said in the purported video.

Police take action
Kulwinder was charged with “voluntarily causing hurt” and “wrongful restraint” in an FIR registered by Mohali Police on Friday for her alleged acts of confronting and slapping Kangana. She has been booked under the bailable sections 323 and 341 of IPC.
The police are currently checking the CCTV footages at the terminals to verify Kangana’s allegations. “Action per the complaints filed by CISF has been taken. Further action is in process,” Mohali SSP Sandeep Garg said.
The CISF DIG Vinay Kajla was quoted as saying that Kulwinder was “apologetic” about her “emotional outburst”.
Kulwinder’s support
Among those who supported Kulwinder for her actions was Mohinder Kaur, an 82-year-old who previously filed a defamation suit against Kangana for her remarks. “Kangana has no sense of how to speak. Since she has been elected as an MP, she should be polite. She tried to brand Punjabis as extremists. She used derogatory words for us,” the octogenarian said.
Bollywood singer Vishal Dadlani also showed his support for Kulwinder and promised her job if the police took any action, and she lost her job.
Several supports have come out in support of Kulwinder with many Nihang coming out. “We will make Kulwinder Kaur an MLA and then send her to Parliament as an MP & make her sit on a par with Kangana,” said Nihang Raja Raj Singh.
Kulwinder’s mother, feeling no remorse, supported her daughter’s actions and said, “What my daughter did yesterday at the airport (slapping Kangana) was absolutely right”. She was also felicitated by some supporters for being the attacker’s mother.
