Newly-elected MP and Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has taken to social media to address the recent incident at Chandigarh airport, where she was allegedly slapped by a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable. The incident occurred on June 6 as Kangana was en route to Delhi for a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) meeting. She expressed her views on the matter via X (formerly Twitter), condemning those who defended the constable’s actions.
Kangana’s Strong Response on Social Media
Kangana shared her thoughts on the incident, emphasizing the gravity of unwanted physical contact. She tweeted, “Every rapist, murderer or thief always have a strong emotional, physical, psychological or financial reason to commit a crime, no crime ever happens without a reason, yet they are convicted and sentenced to jail. If you are aligned with the criminal’s strong emotional impulse to commit a crime violating all laws of the land.”
In a subsequent tweet, she added, “Remember if you are ok with breaking into someone’s intimate zone, without their permission touching their bodies and assaulting them then deep down you are ok with rape or murder also because that’s also just penetration or stab only what big deal, you must look deeper into your psychological criminal tendencies. I suggest please take up yoga and meditation or else life will become a bitter and burdensome experience, don’t carry so much grudge, hate and jealousy please, free yourself.”
Details of the Incident
The altercation reportedly took place as Kangana was about to board her flight to Delhi. According to her, a CISF constable slapped her and abused her. An FIR has been lodged against the constable involved in the incident.
Kangana later shared a video on Instagram, detailing the event and expressing her concerns about rising terrorism and extremism in Punjab. “I am getting a lot of phone calls from the media and my well-wishers. Firstly, I am safe, I am perfectly fine. The incident that took place happened at Chandigarh airport with security staff. The moment I came out after the security check, a security staff member in another cabin came from the side and hit me on my face and started abusing me.”
She further explained, “When I asked her (CISF jawan), why did she do this, she said that she supported the farmers’ protest. I am safe but my concern is that jo aatankwad aur ugarwad Punjab mai bad raha hai (the terrorism and extremism that is rising in Punjab), how do we handle that?”
Reaction from the Constable
On the same day, a video featuring the constable went viral. In it, she explained her actions, stating that her mother was among the farmers protesting against the now-repealed farm laws. In Hindi, she said, “Kangana had given a statement that women farmers were sitting at the farmers’ protest for ₹100 each. My mother was also sitting there when she gave this statement. I could not tolerate the insult of my mother.”
