Kangana slap row: Farmer outfits come out in support of CISF cop

Chandigarh, NT Bureau: Some farmer outfits on Friday threw their weight behind the CISF woman constable who allegedly slapped actor and BJP MP-elect Kangana Ranaut, saying the entire sequence leading to the incident needs to be properly investigated.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha are among the prominent outfits which said they stand in support of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable.

Constable Kulwinder Kaur, who allegedly hit Ranaut and abused her during a security check at the Chandigarh airport on Thursday, has been suspended and an FIR lodged against her. Kaur was apparently upset with Ranaut over her stance on the farmers' protests.

Ranaut, in a video message on Thursday, said she was hit in the face and abused by the constable.
