Chandigarh: Newly-elected BJP MP Kangana Ranaut Thursday was allegedly assaulted by a woman constable of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at the Chandigarh airport when she was on her way to Delhi, officials said.
The constable has been suspended and an FIR has been lodged against her, they said.
The CISF constable allegedly assaulted Kangana while frisking her at the airport before she boarded her flight.
As per eyewitness reports, the actress-turned-MP was ‘slapped’ by CISF constable Kulvinder Kaur while she was about to board the Vistara flight UK707 from Chandigarh to New Delhi.
A video shared on X shows the commotion inside the airport following the incident.
Kaur allegedly slapped Kangana at the security checkpoint after she refused to put her mobile phone in the tray for the mandatory security check. She’s then said to have pushed aside the security personnel on duty.
It was also alleged by eyewitnesses that Kaur was upset with Kangana because of her earlier remarks on the protests by the farmers.
The actor was elected to Lok Sabha from Mandi Constituency in Himachal Pradesh where she defeated her nearest Congress rival by over 74,000 votes.
