Why CISF cop was slapped?

JAIPUR: A scuffle broke out between a female crew member of a private airline and an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of the Central Industrial Security Force ( CISF ) at Jaipur International Airport early Thursday morning.The city’s airport police station arrested the crew member following a complaint from the ASI, who alleged that she slapped him when he asked her for security screening.The woman also lodged a counter complaint against the ASI.SHO (Airport) Moti Lal told TOI that the woman was arrested under the Bharat Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 121(1) (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt to deter a public servant from his duty) and 132 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant).The police said the incident occurred when the woman was entering the airport along with other staff around 4am and was stopped by the ASI, who said she did not have valid permission to use that gate. The ASI reportedly asked her to undergo screening, but no woman CISF personnel were available at the gate at that time. While the ASI called for a woman CISF personnel for the security check, the argument had already escalated.DCP (East) Kavendra Singh Sagar said that the woman also filed an FIR against the ASI under BNS section 75 (sexual harassment). “Two cross complaints have been lodged in the matter and the probe is underway,” Sagar said. The private airline, in a statement, said that while escorting a catering vehicle at the steel gate, the woman security staff member, who had a valid airport entry pass issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), was subjected to “inappropriate and unacceptable language by the CISF personnel, including asking her to come and meet him after his duty hours at his home.”The airline also mentioned that it was taking immediate legal action in this “serious case of sexual harassment” against its woman employee and has approached the local police. “We stand firmly by our employee and are committed to providing her with full support,” the statement read.
